Pope Francis greets children during a meeting with Italy's Roma, Sinti and Gypsy communities at the Vatican.
Photo: CNS Dear Editor, Congratulations to the Transition Year student María Salto Galdón from Alexandra College on her excellent article – ‘The Pope Francis effect on youth’ (IC 18/02/2016). This is a very well-written piece and I recommend that schools take it for discussion at senior level. Our youth need to be encouraged to own their faith and Pope Francis’ leadership is a good way to begin.
Yours etc.,
Therese Mullen,
