Happy 83rd Birthday Pope Francis!

16 Dec 2019

Pope Francis turns 83 on Tuesday 17 December 2019. Ahead of his birthday, Eliza Long (aged 8) from Dunboyne, Co Meath, Ireland, sends Pope Francis a very special birthday greeting.  Eliza is in second class and is preparing for her First Holy Communion next year.

Eliza thanks Pope Francis for his prayers for all the children across the world. She assures him that she is praying for him too.
