What is Confirmation?
We become Christians and members of the Church at our Baptism. Confirmation is a continuation and unfolding of its meaning, as we reaffirm our Baptismal promises and say 'yes' to God. Confirmed Christians are then able to share in Holy Communion
Candidates are prepared for Confirmation through instruction on courses specifically tailored either for youngsters (usually aged between 10 and 15 years) or adults. At St Michael's our annual Confirmation service usually takes place in late January or early February (Sunday 10th February in 2013) and preparation classes run weekly from October until just prior to the Confirmation date with a break over the Christmas holiday. Adult classes are usually arranged for a weekday evening and youngsters' classes take place during Sunday morning Mass
For information about adult confirmation please speak to Father Stephen Stavrou or email at curate@smaaa.org.uk. If you would like more information about confirmation for your child please contact Father Stephen Stavrou or Charlotte Isted via the Parish Office
