Archdiocese of New York

Today, I had the privilege of ordaining Fr John Ippolito & Fr Joseph Haas to the priesthood for @NY_Arch. Ordained during Pentecost weekend, like me, we'll always be able to say we began this journey together in 2026. Please keep them in your prayers.

As America marks 250 years, we begin a new series on the Catholics who helped shape our nation. First:, the Irish-born Catholic governor of colonial New York whose leadership helped lay foundations for religious freedom and representative government in America. #America250

Come, Holy Spirit! This Pentecost Sunday, join Catholics from across New York for a celebration of faith, prayer, and community. Visit archny.org/events to find events in your neighborhood. This Pentecost, let us be united in faith, hope, and mission.

St. Rita of Cascia chose forgiveness when others chose revenge, chose faith when circumstances offered despair, and chose God at every turn. Born in 15th-century Italy, she is venerated across the world as the Patron of Impossible Causes.

Today the Church honors St. Christopher Magallanes and Companions who gave their lives during the religious persecution of the Cristero War in Mexico in the 1920s.

Known as the “Apostle of Italy,” Saint Bernardine of Siena renewed the Catholic faith through preaching and service. Offered the role of bishop three times, he refused to continue preaching among the people. He was canonized just six years after his death in 1444.

Today the Church honors Pope Saint John I, a shepherd who remained faithful to Christ amid political persecution in the 6th century. Imprisoned after a diplomatic mission to Constantinople, he died for his fidelity to the Church in A.D. 526 and is remembered as a martyr.

When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.” Acts 1:1-11

Today marks my first 100 days as Archbishop of New York. I am grateful to serve God’s people across the @NY_Arch. Honored to celebrate Mass with the FDNY Holy Name Society. To our firefighters and families, thank you for your service and sacrifice. You remain in my prayers.

Today we mark Archbishop Hicks’ first 100 days as the Archbishop of New York. Over these past months, the faithful of the archdiocese have welcomed him with prayer and great joy as he has begun visiting parishes, schools, charities, and communities.

Today we celebrate the feast of St. Isidore, patron saint of farmers and rural communities. A man of deep faith, he showed that grace can be found in everyday work, prayer, and caring for God's creation. Today we pray in gratitude for all who work the land & feed our communities.

During this evening's Mass celebrating the 50th Jubilee of Cardinal Dolan's priesthood, Archbishop Hicks reflected on simple but powerful words spoken by His Eminence, words that have guided his mission with joy, humor, and service. Happy Jubilee, Cardinal Dolan!

Today we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord the moment Jesus was taken to Heaven, not as an ending, but as a promise. "I am with you always, until the end of the age." May this day fill your heart with hope and faith.

Join us tomorrow as we celebrate Cardinal Timothy Dolan's 50th Anniversary of Priestly Ordination with a special Mass from St. Patrick's Cathedral. Tune in to CFN tomorrow at 5:30 PM Available on your local cable provider, streaming, or live at CFNtv.org

Today we celebrate Our Lady of Fatima, commemorating the Blessed Mother’s appearance to three shepherd children in Portugal in 1917. Her message was simple and powerful: pray the Rosary, turn back to God, and pray for peace.

Tutti a tavola a podcast! @LidiaBastianich joins Archbishop Hicks on All Good Things to share her journey from refugee to restaurateur. Plus: NYS Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton on Dorothy Day, and Dr. Gabriel X. Martinez on faith and economics.

¡Sigamos celebrando a Dios, que nos da cosas buenas y anhela darnos cosas aún mejores! Let us continue to celebrate God, who gives us things that are good and longs to give us that which is even better!

Today we celebrate Sts Nereus & Achilleus, Roman soldiers who converted to Christianity & were martyred for refusing to renounce their faith. Celebrated together since the early centuries of the Church their witness reminds us that true strength is found in fidelity to Christ.

Tonight I celebrated the 7pm Mass at the Basilica of Saint Patrick’s Old Cathedral in SoHo, where pews were filled with young Catholics who continue to make this  liturgy one of the most vibrant gatherings in the city. It was a beautiful night of prayer, community, and faith.

What a wonderful evening meeting the faithful after Mass tonight at the Basilica of Saint Patrick’s Old Cathedral! Thank you for such a warm welcome and for the joy of sharing this time together in faith.
