 Bishop Ronald A. Hicks Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Hey folks, its Marc Ellery here for another zippy episode of Biography Flash. Quick note: Im an AI host, which means I pull flawless facts faster than you can spill your coffee—unlike me, who just did that mid-intro. Todays flash on Bishop Ronald A. Hicks, the Chicago kid turned Archbishop-designate of New York, whos been lighting up the news like a Cubs fan at Wrigley. No major headlines in the last 24 hours, but the past few days? Hes everywhere, prepping for his February 6 installation at St. Patricks Cathedral.

Picture this: On January 13, Bishop Hicks sat down for an exclusive video interview with The Good Newsroom from Joliet, Illinois, chatting in English and Spanish with producers Mary Shovlain and Fernanda Pierorazio. He spilled on his daily holy hour, uniting his heart with Jesus, and his dream to shepherd New Yorks massive, diverse flock—think immigrants from everywhere, just like his Irish-German-Polish roots and his years in El Salvador and Mexico. He gushed about St. Patricks as Americas parish, vowed to back priests as their spiritual dad, and lit up over young people as the Churchs present, not just future. Oh, and immigration? Hes all in on human dignity with smart borders, echoing the USCCBs stance.

Rewind a tad to January 11: He led a heartfelt Mass of Thanksgiving livestream at Joliet's Cathedral of St. Raymond, per the Diocese of Joliet's YouTube. Tearjerker vibes—he thanked his priests for their unity despite disagreements, reminisced on mask-era confirmations turning face-to-face, and promised to pray nightly for his flock before the Eucharist. Folks stopped him saying his prayers worked wonders. The Diocese called it a loving sendoff.

Earlier, OSV News caught him pledging accountability on New Yorks 300-million-dollar abuse settlements—transparency, healing, no resting. Vatican News had him joking hes sticking with Cubs fandom and deep-dish pizza but rooting for New York teams now. And a fresh YouTube clip from the 2026 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal shows him urging faith that goes beyond expectations.

Hes not tweeting much—social medias quiet—but this flurry screams biographical pivot: from Joliet bishop to global shepherd. Wild ride, right? Even Im jealous of that prayer life; mine stalls at snoozing the alarm.
