1,000 attend Polish Confirmation ceremony

AROUND 40 members of the Polish community in Cork were confirmed by the Bishop of Cork and Ross, John Buckley, in a packed church last night.

At a ceremony in St Augustine’s Church, young people from the 3,000-strong Polish community received the sacrament of Confirmation.

More than 1,000 people were present for the ceremony which took place during the weekly Sunday evening Polish Mass.
