Fr. Mark Vaillancourt, Kennedy Catholic president, con-celebrated mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral with Cardinal Dolan and his successor, Archbishop-designate Ronald Hicks, on Thursday, December 18, 2025.

At mass, Father was happily reunited with Kennedy Catholic alums Gabriel Gojcaj ’19, Christopher Hanrahan ’17 and Kieran Sullivan ’23, and former teacher Raymond Bartolotti (pictured second from right) – all of whom are in the New York Archdiocese seminary program.

May God bless and guide them on their journey to priesthood, and Archbishop-designate Hicks in his new position.
