Cork kids reflect on Papal Confirmation in Vatican

Two 12 year-olds yesterday were confirmed by the Pope at a ceremony in St Peter’s Square in Rome.

Emily Mulcahy and Edmond Roche, who are both 12 years of age, proudly queued up with other children from around the world to be blessed by Pope Francis as part of the Year of Faith celebrations.

Cobh native Emily travelled to Rome with her parents Margaret and Paul, her sister Sophie, 10, and her twin brothers Andrew and Luke, 7.
