Confirmation expresses a mature commitment to Christ, and is a sacrament of strengthening by the Holy Spirit. It is administered through the laying-on of hands by a bishop. Inquirer’s Classes for adults and Confirmation Classes for young people will be offered preceding a visitation by the bishop.

Those already confirmed by a bishop in the apostolic succession – including individuals confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church or chrismated in the Eastern Orthodox Church – are not confirmed again but should be formally received into the Episcopal Church by the bishop during the Confirmation service.
