If you are baptized, you are already a member of the Church, the Body of Christ. However, joining the Church also means belonging to a particular denomination or parish.
You are encourages to be confirmed in the Episcopal Church. Confirmation is a sacrament administered only by a bishop, upon the recommendation of the Rector.
Confirmation by a bishop in the Roman Catholic or Orthodox Churches is accepted and such persons are received by a bishop into the Episcopal Church.
Preparation for Confirmation should be discussed with the Rector. Classes are offered for Inquirers and potential Confirmands.
If you are already a confirmed Episcopalian you should request a Canonical Letter of Transfer from your former parish to St. Mary's Parish. This will be arranged by the Parish Office upon your request.
