Confirmation
Confirmation is a mature statement of Christian faith made before a bishop to receive the strengthening power of the Holy Spirit. For young people, confirmation classes are offered to those who are at least in the 9th grade. Baptized Adults from another Christian tradition who were never confirmed are also asked to receive the sacrament. Adults who were confirmed in another tradition are received into the Episcopal Church without having to renounce the previous rite. The Bishop’s visitation usually takes place after Easter.
