Archbishop Ronald Hicks of New York has returned to public ministry as he continues to recover from surgery to repair a detached retina.
Archbishop Hicks was the principal celebrant at the August 6 profession of vows of the Sisters of Life at St Patrick’s Cathedral, his first public Mass since the surgery. This, he said in a statement published the following day, was “one of the highlights” of his recovery.
In a video posted on social media, the archbishop sang the opening verse of the song “I Can See Clearly Now” before joking that he is a “terrible singer”.
