A judge has directed that an atheist father present his son “in good order and not upset” at 9am at the home of his mother on the morning of the boy’s first holy communion.

At the Family Law Court, Judge Alec Gabbett also directed that the father "have no discussion about the sacraments" with his son on the night prior to him celebrating his upcoming communion.
