Confirmation
Confirmation is the completion of Christian initiation which begins with Holy Baptism. When we are confirmed we have the opportunity to confirm those promises which we made at our Holy Baptism (or which were made on our behalf) and God confirms our membership of his Church by sending his Holy Spirit into our hearts and sealing us with its presence.
Confirmation is normally offered to children in Year 5 after a course of preparation which takes place at our parish school. If your child does not attend St Saviour’s School then separate arrangements can be made. Please speak with Fr Andrew or the Parish Office.
Confirmation is offered to adults at any time in their adult life following a course of preparation, either as a group session shared with other adults; or privately with one of the parish priests.
The next service of Confirmation will be at St Mary-on-Paddington Green at 11.00am on Sunday 10th September, 2023 – Bishop David Urquhart will preside.
