RALEIGH -- As Francis begins his Papacy, the Catholic community is praying for his success.

A special mass was held in Raleigh, where Bishop Michael Burbage spoke to hundreds.

"He has reminded us that we are all member of God's holy family. And that unity is best reflected in the respect and reverence and care we show for all human beings."

Burbage says that the new Pope is committed to using new tools, such as social media, to reach out to followers and to build the church.
