BAPTISM

​CONFIRMATION

Baptism

Confirmation

"You are sealed by the Holy Spirit in Baptism and marked as Christ's own for ever" (BCP, p. 308)

Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble. Holy Baptism is appropriately administered within the Eucharist as the chief service on a Sunday or other feast.   
More about Baptism

 Confirmation is one of the rites of the Church, and we celebrate it so that those being confirmed can make a mature public affirmation of their faith and commitment to the responsibilities of their Baptism and to receive the laying on of hands by the bishop. Youth Confirmation classes are open to all 10-12th graders. Exploring Scripture, Church History, the Prayer Book, and other parts of our faith life, we learn about the ways God is calling us to take on our Baptismal vows as mature members of the Church.

When Confirmation/Reception/Reaffirmation is celebrated on Sunday or a major feast, the propers (collect and readings) for that day are used. The BCP also provides special propers for Confirmation at other times.
