After his retirement, Pates served as apostolic administrator of both the Diocese of Joliet in Illinois and the Diocese of Crookston for short terms. On April 4, 2023, Pope Francis appointed Pates as administrator of the Archdiocese of Dubuque due to the abrupt retirement of Archbishop Michael Jackels. Provided by Wikipedia
