ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Communities worldwide and in our region are coming together to honor and pray for Pope Leo XIV.

“I was visiting a sick person and I was with the family, the television was on, but without any sound, and they saw the white smoke,” said Sister Martha Zammatore of School Sisters of St. Francis.

The next morning, Sister Zammatore found herself up bright and early for a special mass.
