In preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation, candidate participate in classes preparing them to be Christ’s disciples. Candidates express a mature commitment to Christ before the bishop and reaffirm the covenant made on their behalf at baptism. This is an important step as youth begin to claim their faith for themselves and come to understand more fully what we do as Christians in the Episcopal faith. Confirmation is scheduled in conjunction with the bishop’s annual visit to St. James on September 28. To register your child, contact the Director of Family Ministries, Carrie Grace.
