He will oversee approximately 450 clerics in the midwest region that includes Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia.
“Being able to serve others who serve those who serve, in a time when it is needed more than ever, is a very special blessing and opportunity,” said Vester.
