Archbishop John Charles Wester was ordained a Roman Catholic priest for the Archdiocese of San Francisco on May 15, 1976. After his priestly ordination, many facets of ministry in the Church followed in the Bay Area that included assignments as an associate pastor, pastor, high school faculty member, director of campus ministry, high school president, assistant superintendent for high schools, and administrative assistant to Archbishop John R. Quinn. On July 25, 1997, His Holiness, Pope John Paul II, named Reverend Wester a Prelate of Honor, giving him the title of Monsignor. He then served as the vicar for clergy in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. In 1998, Monsignor Wester was ordained auxiliary bishop of San Francisco and appointed to serve as the vicar general. On January 8, 2007, he was named Bishop of Salt Lake City and installed on March 14, 2007. His kind and giving spirit reflects his Episcopal motto: Abide in Christ.
Couples for Christ will be holding a Christian Life Program in both English and Spanish on November 9th at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church. The program will be followed by a bilingual Mass with Bishop Oscar A. Solis and Fr. John Evans.
