The Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable
It is with a great deal of joy and some sadness we hear of the elevation of Bishop John Wester to Archbishop of Santa Fe. Joy for his special calling and the opportunity to provide a ministry to the Catholic faithful of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe that will bring a great spiritual edification and unity, as he so admirably did here in Salt Lake and Utah. Some sadness because he is such a humble and great leader, who served not only the Catholic Church but all the people of Utah, that we will miss him dearly.

We welcomed you into our order in Utah, and your presence with us inspired men to join the Knights. By being such a strong supporter of the Knights and our mission, coupled with your deep love for those in need, it was easier to attract even more men to join our ranks.

Some of the things I will remember and appreciate about Bishop Wester’s eight years of episcopal ministry “in this local vineyard” are 1) the wonderful “face” he was able to put onto the Roman Catholic Church in Utah and the articulate spokesperson he has been; 2) his gifts, which I was able to witness first hand as Vicar for Clergy, of compassionate counseling and discernment that he brought to his relationship with his fellow priests; 3) the power and elegance he brought to his preaching; and 4) his conviction and dedication to the immigrant, marginalized and less fortunate, even when his being a champion for the voiceless and his support of social justice brought him criticism and disdain.
