Salvatore Ronald Matano (born September 15, 1946) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, serving as bishop of the Diocese of Rochester in Upstate New York since 2013.

[1] Matano was ordained into the priesthood for the Diocese of Providence by Bishop James Hickey on December 17, 1971, in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

In 1991, Matano spent a year in Washington, D.C. acting as the secretary to the apostolic nuncio of the United States, Archbishop Agostino Cacciavillan.

[1] In January 2000, Matano returned to Washington to serve as secretary to the new apostolic nuncio of the United States, Archbishop Gabriel Higuera.

[5][1] On August 18, 2018, Matano sent a letter to all parishioners in the diocese, expressing his outrage on the sexual abuse of children and young adults by diocese priests:"I cannot express adequately my sorrow for the pain, suffering and turmoil endured by the victims of child sexual abuse, especially when it is committed by the very ones who were so trusted and so grievously betrayed that very trust.

In December 2018, Monsignor James Kruse of the Diocese of Peoria claimed that Matano was blocking the canonization cause of Bishop Fulton Sheen.

Sheen, who hosted the national television show Life Is Worth Living in the 1950s, had served as bishop in Rochester and then in Peoria.

Kruse claimed that Matano had provided the Vatican with documents that raised suspicions that Sheen had mishandled sexual abuse allegations against two priests in Rochester.
