The New Archbishop of New York
Appointed today, Archbishop-designate Ronald Hicks will be installed as the eleventh Archbishop of New York City on February 6, 2026. Who is he, and what is so meaningful about this appointment?
Our Lady of Loreto is a title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary not based on an apparation, but based on a place: her house, where she was born, raised, and experienced the Annunciation. Her home was "flown" to Italy in the late 1200's, and is now housed in a Church built around it.
