We warmly invite you to Christ Church Anglican Cathedral for our upcoming Confirmation Service.

Confirmation is a gathering of the church to pray for those who seek the blessing of God in Confirmation; they will first affirm their faith in God and their desire to serve him throughout their lives.

In Confirmation, the bishop lays hands on those who have been baptized and instructed in the Christian faith, praying over them that God’s indwelling Spirit will strengthen and guide them.

Our Church requires that all who are to be confirmed should first know and understand the Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Ten Commandments, and be able to answer the other questions in the Church-Catechism. This rule enables those who have been baptized as infants, when they are of age to do so, openly before the church, to take upon themselves and confirm the promises made on their behalf by their godparents.

Those who at their baptism have already made a profession of faith for themselves also seek the continuing grace and strength of the Holy Spirit in the laying on of hands.

It is for the people of God to hear the response to God’s call of those who have come to be confirmed, to support them now and always with our prayer, and to renew our own commitment to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
