Good morning, Scranton.

Volunteers in Jefferson Township held their 18th annual Super Bowl fundraiser and sold over 2,000 lbs of chicken wings and pizzas to raise about $10,000 to $15,000 for new fire equipment; nearly two dozen volunteers helped make the sale a success.

Today, a large crowd gathered at the Cathedral of Saint Peter for the Diocese of Scranton’s annual Mass for Persons with Disabilities, which celebrated inclusion and honored the community's diverse gifts.

Leaders like Sister Maryalice Jacquinot and Bishop Bambera spoke about faith and service — even in the cold weather.

On Wednesday night, a fire forced 77 patients to evacuate Lehigh Valley Hospital in Dickson City, including Rebecca Santerangelo, who later received care at Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton as a state fire marshal continued investigating the cause.

Documents from 2013 show that Times-Shamrock Communications in Scranton was once targeted for a sale to build a U.S. Virgin Islands media empire, though the proposed deal did not proceed and its newspaper division was sold to MediaNews Group in August 2023.
