"If you want to know the core of who I am and what I stand for. You should know this: I love Jesus with my mind, heart and soul, and I strive to love my neighbor, Archbishop-designate Ronald Hicks said. Photo by Dean Moses New York Catholics will welcome a new leader on Friday, when Ronald Hicks is formally installed as the 11th Archbishop of New York, replacing Cardinal Timothy Dolan as the spiritual leader of what is perhaps America's most visible archdiocese."
"I have visited New York about 10 times in my life, and every time I have visited, I said to myself, I love it,' he told reporters. I love the culture, the food, the energy, the plays, the neighborhoods. But especially, I love the people, the people from all over the world who call this place home. Last month, Hicks said he was looking forward to his new position and getting to know the people of New York."
Ronald Hicks will be installed as the 11th Archbishop of New York at St. Patrick's Cathedral, replacing Cardinal Timothy Dolan after Pope Leo XIV accepted Dolan's resignation in December. Religious scholars note the ceremony is more administrative than sacramental, and the appointment is expected to be reverent and respectful. Hicks is known for profound compassion and dedicated pastoral experience across his native Illinois and beyond. Cardinal Dolan had been associated with a more conservative tradition and a warm, charismatic public presence. Hicks has expressed strong affection for New York's culture, neighborhoods, and people and emphasized loving Jesus, the Church, the priesthood, and people.
