Summary
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who served as the Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of New York since his retirement from archbishop in December, is leaving his final Sunday Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. Cardinal Dolan will be succeeded by Archbishop Ronald Hicks on Friday. Throughout his tenure, Cardinal Dolan has been known for his courtesy and kindness, often pausing to greet people on the streets of New York. Known as a model of gentlemanly behavior, Cardinal Dolan paid attention to making others feel at ease, evidenced by his sending a handwritten Epiphany card from Rome congratulating my parents on their 60th wedding anniversary two days before his final Mass. His courtesy and personal kindness have made him a beloved figure in the archdiocese, with many people expressing gratitude for his presence during challenging times.
