Communions
St John the Evangelist Kilbarrack – Foxfield Parish is part of the Dublin Diocese, so all children who register for the sacrament of First Holy Communion in the Parish are obliged to receive relevant religious instruction in the two years preceding reception of the Sacrament. This instruction can be part of the school curriculum or in weekly classes with a Religion teacher, following the “Grow in Love” programme. The children will also be expected to attend mass regularly with their families. The Parish will also share information by email to help families prepare their children for the masses.
