The next date for the sacrament of confirmation and the rites of reaffirmation of vows and reception is April 27, 2024. If you have been considering undertaking any of these, please speak to Andrew about preparation and registration.

Confirmation marks the point in the Christian journey at which you affirm for yourself the faith into which you have been baptized and your intention to live a life of committed discipleship. It is the rite by which we express a mature commitment to Christ and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a Bishop. This sacrament is available to anyone who is baptized, has a mature understanding of the Christian faith, is repentant of their sins, and prepare to affirm publicly their confession of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.

Reaffirmation of Vows is a public reaffirmation of the promises we make at baptism. This rite is available to anyone who is baptized and wishes to affirm publicly their commitment to living our baptismal covenant.

Reception is a public and official reception of a Christian from another church or denomination into the Anglican Communion. This rite is available to anyone who is baptized and has come to the Anglican Church of Canada from another church or denomination and wishes to ritually mark that change of membership.
