[4] Pope Francis named Solis bishop of Salt Lake City on January 10, 2017, when the position had been vacant for 20 months.
I look forward to continuing a culture of dialogue and encounter that leads us together to God.” Latter-day Saint Apostles M. Russell Ballard and D. Todd Christofferson spoke about Solis when he was installed as the bishop of Salt Lake City.
It focused on developing a comprehensive vision for strengthening faith formation, promoting vocations to the priesthood and a universal call for holiness to the laity, seeking new ways to support the diocese financially and support the needy, increasing the reverence and devotion of the Eucharist, and upholding the dignity of all in society.
