Cardinal Dolan served in that role for nearly 17 years, and Msgr. Peter I. Vaccari, president of CNEWA-Pontifical Mission,<a href=\"https:\/\/cnewa.org\/cnewa-welcomes-new-archbishop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;thanked him and prayed the Blessed Mother<\/a>&nbsp;would \u201ccontinue to bless both men as they continue to witness the Gospel as shepherds of his sheep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking after his appointment was announced, Archbishop Hicks pointed out his \u201cdeep affinity with the Holy Father,\u201d especially as someone who also served in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osvnews.com\/pope-accepts-resignation-of-cardinal-dolan-names-bishop-hicks-of-joliet-ill-as-successor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The archbishop served five years<\/a>&nbsp;in El Salvador as regional director of Nuestros Peque\u00f1os Hermanos, or N.P.H., in Central America. N.P.H. is a home dedicated to caring for more than 3,400 orphaned and abandoned children in nine Latin American and Caribbean countries. Pope Leo spent nearly two decades in the impoverished northwest Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Archbishop Hicks was born on 4 August 1967, in the Chicago suburb of Harvey and grew up in South Holland, Illinois. He received an undergraduate degree in philosophy in 1989 from Niles College of Loyola University in Chicago and completed a Master of Divinity in 1994 and a doctorate in ministry in 2003, both at the University of St. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, Illinois. On 1 January 2015, he was named vicar general of the Archdiocese of Chicago and three years later, Pope Francis appointed him auxiliary bishop of Chicago, where he served until he assumed the role of shepherd in the Diocese of Joliet in mid-2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/20260205T2030-NYC-HICKS-INSTALLATION-18126891-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cardinal Timothy M.
