This photo taken Nov. 20, 2017, shows Sister Kathleen Schipani, left, director of the office for persons with disabilities and the deaf apostolate in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, signs/talks with Robert Pomroy, second from left, 11, while his sister, Rachael Pomroy, second from right, 8, signs/talks with their grandmother, Pat Pomroy, right, after school at their Cryodon home. The siblings are deaf. Schipani found many existing apps for learning American Sign Language, but there were none dedicated to religious terms, daily devotions or prayers. So she created one, an app called Religious Signs for Families. (Tom Gralish/The Philadelphia Inquirer via AP)
