“The Diocese of Youngstown rejoices in the good news that our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has tapped Father Michael Woost, a priest of the Diocese of Cleveland, to become an auxiliary bishop and work alongside Bishop Malesic. For many years, Father Woost has been a formator for our men in priestly formation who have attended Saint Mary Seminary in Cleveland.
