All members of the church who have been
baptized are encouraged to affirm their faith as adults through the
rite of confirmation by the Bishop. In addition, those who have been
confirmed in other denominations by a bishop in apostolic succession
(Roman Catholic, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, or Eastern
Orthodox) may be received into the Episcopal Church by the Bishop.
Those who have been baptized and confirmed in the Episcopal Church
but for some special reason wish to re-commit themselves to the life
of faith may choose to reaffirm their baptismal covenant with the
Bishop.
If you desire to be confirmed or received, or wish to reaffirm your
baptism:
The Inquirers' Class, held at least twice yearly, will prepare participants
for confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation at the Regional Deanery
Confirmation during Eastertide. Attendance at all of the Inquirers'
classes is required for those preparing for these rites. If you wish
to be confirmed or received, or wish to reaffirm your baptismal covenant,
and particularly if you are uncertain about which of these rites may
be appropriate for you, please speak with one of the staff clergy.
For more information in Confirmation, Reception
& Reaffirmation please contact Parish
Administrator.
