Confirmation
Confirmation marks the point in the Christian journey at which adults or children decide to affirm for themselves the faith into which they were baptised. This is an important decision, and we would be happy to take this opportunity to discuss with us whether your child or you feel ready at this stage to take this significant step.
This year the new Bishop of Kensington, the Rt Revd Dr Emma Ineson will Confirm candidates at 6.30 pm on Thursday 25th May 2023. If you would be interested in joining the sessions please contact the Vicarage Office HERE.

The preparation sessions are led by Mother Emma, Father Christopher, Mother Alice and the Revd Pippa Turner from St Philips Earls Court Road and are informal. The group discusses various areas of worship and religion, taking you on a journey to draw closer to God and an understanding of your own faith. A sample of this years course, and the topics covered, can be found below.
