Confirmation

Confirmation into the Episcopal Church is a rite in which one expresses a "mature commitment to Christ" and receives “strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop.” Those interested in confirmation can be instructed in the Christian faith through an Inquirer’s Class which is offered at the Chapel twice a year. Confirmation is done at the hands of our Bishop, The Right Reverend John Howard.
