What is Confirmation?
The Sacramental Rite of Confirmation is a form of prayer and laying on of hands by the bishop as a means to invoke the Holy Spirit upon the life of a person who was baptized at an early age and wishes to make a mature commitment of faith, or to a person who comes to this Church from another Christian Tradition.
When is the Next Confirmation Service?
The Rt. Rev. J Scott Mayer, Bishop of Northwest Texas, will be with us to Confirm and Receive our new members on May 31, 2026
