Ronald Hicks is set to be installed Friday as the 11th archbishop of New York in a ceremony at a revered Manhattan church where dignitaries and laypeople from all walks of life are expected to gather and celebrate.
Previewing the Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral to reporters on Thursday, Hicks said he will talk about his vision for one of the largest archdioceses in the nation that serves roughly 2.5 million Catholics in Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island in New York City, as well as seven counties to the north. He also plans to include plenty of references to Pope Leo XI, and promote themes of gratitude and the mission of the church.
