Religious Classes for Children attending non-Catholic Primary Schools:
Children attending non-Catholic Primary Schools who wish to receive First Penance, First Holy Communion and Confirmation must have completed at least 2 years preparation before reception of each of the Sacraments. The Parish recognizes the After School Religion Classes organized by the Parent Groups of both Le Cheile Educate Together and Gaelscoil an Bhradain Feasa. If you wish your child to be considered for these Sacraments please ensure that they are attending the after school classes and the Weekend Mass.
