The '''Archdiocese of New York''', a metropolitan [[archdiocese]] of the [[Latin Rite]], is an active archdiocese encompassing Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island in [[New York City]], as well as seven counties north of the city in the [[United States]]. Erected as a diocese in 1808 by [[Pope Pius VII]] and elevated to an archdiocese in 1850, it is currently led by Archbishop Ronald Aldon Hicks as of 2025. As the metropolitan see of the [[Ecclesiastical Province of New York]], it oversees several suffragan dioceses and serves approximately 2.8 million registered Catholics. A notable aspect is its historic role in welcoming waves of Catholic immigrants, symbolized by the iconic St. Patrick's Cathedral, a global landmark of faith. | The '''Archdiocese of New York''', a metropolitan [[archdiocese]] of the [[Latin Rite]], is an active archdiocese encompassing Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island in [[New York City]], as well as seven counties north of the city in the [[United States]].
