Upon the retirement of Archbishop Patrick Dolan, Pope Leo XIV has named the Most Reverand Ronald A. Hicks as archbishop.

Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed that from January 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027, Catholics will celebrate a Franciscan Jubilee Year. He requests that we pray this prayer often during the Jubilee Year.
Additionally, Pope Leo XIV is asking all Catholics to prayerfully read/reread the documents of the 2nd Vatican Council. He emphasized that the Council “is not a closed chapter of history but a great grace entrusted to the Church, one that continues to offer light, wisdom, and prophetic guidance for every generation. The Church does not move forward by abandoning her roots, but by drawing more deeply from them with faith and discernment.” Pope Leo highlighted the enduring themes of Vatican II, particularly its encouragement of dialogue and engagement with the modern world. The Council called the Church to foster authentic interreligious dialogue, to pursue unity among Christians through ecumenism, and to collaborate with all people of good will in the service of truth and the dignity of the human person. These principles, the Pope reminded the faithful, were never meant to dilute Catholic identity, but to express it more clearly and charitably in a complex and often divided world.
