ST. GEORGE — When the Rev. Robert Willmann first visited St. George in early 2023, he said he was "awestruck" by the beauty of the area and felt a calling to move to the southwest corner of the state from southern Ohio.
"I felt I must live here," Willmann said while sitting down to speak with St. George News.
Known as "Father Rob" to parishioners across three Episcopal churches in Washington and Iron counties, Willmann began leading congregations at Grace Episcopal Church in St. George, Spirit of the Desert Episcopal Church in Ivins and St. Jude's Episcopal Church in Cedar City at the start of the year.
Willmann was officially installed as the vicar of Grace and St. Jude's and the rector of Spirit of the Desert in April.
