Long Islanders are waking up to the news of Pope Francis' passing early this morning.
Pope Francis made one visit to the United States back in 2015, which included a stop in New York. He spoke at the United Nations, visited the 9/11 Memorial and led mass at Madison Square Garden.
News 12 is outside St. Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre, which has several masses scheduled throughout the day and will be speaking with parishioners there.
This is a developing story. Check back for more details.
