His transition marks a moment of renewal for the archdiocese, as he brings his vision for a vibrant, engaged, and unified faith community to New York. We look forward to his guidance and leadership as he assumes the mantle and begins this journey of service to the millions of faithful across our diverse parishes.

Timothy Cardinal Dolan: A Legacy of Service

For more than 16 years, His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan has been a vibrant and steadfast pillar of the New York community. Since his installation in 2009, he has led the New York Archdiocese with a unique blend of joyous faith, sharp intellect, and a profound commitment to the city’s most vulnerable. Cardinal Dolan’s tenure has been defined by a deep love for his flock and a leadership style that extended far beyond the church pews. As he prepares to step down, we reflect with immense gratitude on a legacy of spiritual devotion and civic partnership that has left an indelible mark on the heart of New York.
