Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which the candidates "express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop" (BCP, p. 860). Those who were baptized at an early age are expected to make a mature public affirmation of their faith, recommit themselves to the responsibilities of their baptism, and receive laying on of hands by a bishop (BCP, p. 412).
Confirmation class will be offered in the Spring and run concurrently with the season of Lent this year. Classes will meet during the appointed Sunday School hour for six classes as well as some off-campus field trips.
