St John the Evangelist Kilbarrack - Foxfield Parish is part of the Dublin Diocese, so all children who register for the sacrament of Confirmation in the parish are obliged to receive relevant religious instruction in the two years preceding reception of the Sacraments. 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 regular masses as arranged by the Parish.
