Confirmation Classes

(aka “Adult Inquirer’s Classes”)

Sundays, 12:15pm in the Narthex

April 6—June 8; Confirmation Mass on 6/8

 

The Sacrament of Confirmation is the rite by which we make a mature profession of our faith before the Bishop and take on responsibility for our faith and membership in the Church.  Since we become full members of Christ’s body and the Church through our baptism, confirmation is a strengthening of the gifts given to us in baptism and our response and promise to live out the vows of our baptismal covenant: continuing in the Apostles teaching and fellowship, the breaking of the bread, the prayers of the Church, persevering in resisting evil, repenting of our sins and returning to our Lord, proclaiming by word and example the Good News of God in Christ, seeking and serving Christ in all persons, loving our neighbor as ourselves, striving for justice and peace, and respecting the dignity of every human being.  Essentially we promise to be regular in attending Mass and to live out our faith in our lives every day. 

 

These classes are the instruction for those desiring to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, to be received into the Episcopal Church from another denomination, to reaffirm their baptismal vows, or simply to learn more about the “why” behind “what” we do on Sunday mornings and what we believe as Episcopalians.  These classes are facilitated by Jerry Adams and Father Tripp.  Each Confirmation Mass will be at The Cathedral of St. Philip on the dates listed at 4pm.
