Vatican City, May 9, 2022 / 05:05 am
The Vatican announced on Monday that Pope Francis has named Father Michael Woost as an auxiliary bishop of Cleveland.
Woost, 63, has served as a professor of liturgical and sacramental theology at the Saint Mary Seminary in Cleveland, Ohio, for more than 20 years.
The Cleveland-born priest is one of three priests in his immediate family. His two brothers, Father Dave Woost and Father Tom Woost, are also priests of the Diocese of Cleveland.
Bishop Edward Malesic, who has led the diocese since September 2020, welcomed the announcement of Woost’s appointment on May 9.
