Dec. 18 (UPI) -- Pope Leo XIV named Bishop Ronald A. Hicks of Joliet, Ill., as New York's new archbishop, ending Cardinal Timothy Dolan's 16-year tenure.
On Thursday, the U.S.-born pope accepted Dolan's resignation as archbishop of New York and appointed Ronald Hicks as his successor to lead one of America's largest Catholic dioceses.
"All I want to do is God's will, and however God moves me to be a leader in New York, I want to follow that and just give all of my mind, heart and soul," he told Vatican News in an interview.
Hicks led the Joliet Diocese since 2020 and previously served as Auxiliary Bishop and vicar general of Chicago under Cardinal Blase Cupich.
