The four-day Southwest Liturgical Conference opened Wednesday with a welcome address from the Most Rev. John C. Wester, Bishop of Salt Lake City, and a plenary address by Father Paul Turner regarding the upcoming changes to the Roman Missal. More than 1,000 Catholics are in Salt Lake City for the conference. The Intermountain Catholic will have complete coverage of the conference in our Feb. 11 issue.
