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, so you may wish to take this opportunity to discuss with us whether you feel ready at this stage to take this significant step.
This year the Rt Rev'd Dr Graham Tomlin, Bishop of Kensington confirmed 33 children and adult candidates from St Mary Abbots and St Phillips as well as a single candidate from Christchurch Kensington, St Mary the Boltons, Christchurch Fulham and St Simon, Shepherds Bush on Tuesday 22nd April. The service, despite Covid restrictions limiting the number of people attending, went very well and all the candidates seem to have been moved and delighted by the experience. |
If you or your child would be interested in joining the confirmation classes next year then please contact the vicar, Mother Emma.
If you or your child is not yet baptized but wish to be confirmed you would be welcome to join the preparation course, and we will arrange for the baptism to take place during the Easter Vigil.
The preparation sessions are informal and 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. To give you an idea of the areas of discussion below is the timetable from 2021.
