CONFIRMATION CLASSES

Confirmation is the sacrament when individuals choose to confirm the promises that were made for them at their baptism. The church recognizes one’s full membership and it is the day a bishop seals one with gift of the Holy Spirit. 

 

The Rite of Confirmation will take place at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City on June 3, 2023 at 11:00 am. For information about Confirmation, please contact the Parish Office, info@stjohns1745.org or see Fr. James after services.
