Archbishop Ronald Hicks and Father Dave Dwyer talk about Cardinal Dolan’s anniversary, why we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension on Thursday, the meanings of Pentecost, Pope Leo’s upcoming encyclical on human dignity and artificial intelligence, the duty of the Church to engage with the world, and answer a question about the Easter Season.  

“In moments such as these, we are reminded of the call to be instruments of peace; as Pope Leo XIV has said, ‘Where violence wounds the human family, compassion and unity must be our steadfast reply.’" said the president of the USCCB.

The recognition highlighted Kelly’s leadership and the Knights’ longstanding efforts to promote charity, human dignity, and peace worldwide.
