Adult Baptismal Preparation Classes
on the Baptismal Covenant
The clergy of the parish are available to help any adult who has not yet been baptized to prepare for this Sacrament of the Church. Baptism is initiation into the Church and a commitment to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. If you are interested in the Sacrament of Baptism, please contact Fr. Steve at steve@stwilfridschurch.org.
Adult Confirmation Class
Confirmation is the response of an adult, at least 12 years old, to the promises made at baptism for him or her. It is a time of assuming the responsibilities of the Baptismal Covenant. Instruction is offered in preparation for this Sacrament. The rite is celebrated by a bishop representing the larger church. Because Confirmation involves the laying on of the bishop’s hands, it is sometimes thought of as the ordination to lay ministry—as the ordination services of deacon, priest and bishop also involves the laying on of hands. Please contact Fr. Steve at steve@stwilfridschurch.org for more information.
Adult Education Classes
Classes and forums are offered periodically, especially for newcomers, to give an orientation to the life of St. Wilfrid’s parish and the Episcopal Church.
