Bishop Hirschfeld will be making an official visit to Holy Spirit & St. Mark’s in late 2020. Please contact Rev. Kelly to express your interest in a learning program that supports the process of confirmation. If you were previously confirmed in some traditions of Christianity (including Lutheran and Roman Catholic), you may be “received” into the Episcopal Church by the bishop.

In Confirmation, a baptized Christian makes "a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop." (The Book of Common Prayer, p. 857). A person can be confirmed whenever they are ready to make the commitment. This usually occurs in the teens years, but adults can also participate.
