Confirmation
What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is a sacramental rite in which individuals make a mature commitment to Christ and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. It is a time of deepening faith, affirming baptismal vows, and taking an active role in the church community.
Whether you were baptized as an infant, youth, or adult, confirmation is an opportunity to explore your faith, understand Episcopal traditions, and embrace your calling to serve Christ and the Church.
