Confirmation

Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized. If you were baptized (christened) when you were a child, your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a young person or adult, you may be ready to affirm these promises for yourself. As part of the service, your friends and family as well as the family if faith at St James’ will be there to promise to support and pray for you. A local bishop will lay their hands on your head and ask God’s Holy Spirit to give you the strength and commitment to live God’s way for the rest of your life.
