John C. Wester was installed today at The Cathedral of the Madeleine as Utah's ninth Catholic Bishop. Here are a few things people said about Bishop Wester…"He's a man of real integrity, a priest that I think all of Utah — every Catholic, every Mormon, every anybody else will grow to just love and treasure."
— Sister Glenn Ann McPhee, Chancellor of Oakland
"He is faithful, thoughtful, supportive and prodigally generous, full of life, with a wonderful sense of humor. He is genuinely humble, unimpressed with himself."
— Sister Rosemary Everett, religious vocational minister
"People don't see him insulated at all. In fact, he's just the opposite. He extends himself to a myriad of different people, especially the disenfranchised."
Victims of clergy sexual abuse "absolutely adore him. He's a very down-to-earth human being, and they relate to his sensitivity, his genuineness, his groundedness, his listening."
"He works very hard on his Spanish. ... He's very active in any celebration that we have. Would always invite him and he would make the time to be present."
— The Rev. John Hardin, executive director, St. Anthony Foundation for the homeless
