Confirmation

Picture

Picture
Children who have been baptised as babies make their own public commitment to grow in faith in a ceremony called confirmation.
About once a year, the bishop comes to the parish to administer the sacrament of confirmation. Children should be at least 9 years old and must attend preparation classes. After being confirmed, children start to receive Holy Communion at Mass

Adults who wish to be baptised are normally confirmed as well (either on the same occasion, or shortly after their baptism). There is no upper age limit. Adults must attend a series of preparation classes. After confirmation adults are admitted to Holy Communion.

Confirmation, along with baptism, is a sacrament of initiation.
We are committed to safeguarding children, young people, victims of domestic abuse and vulnerable adults. The Parochial Church Council has adopted the Church of England’s policies and best practice on safeguarding which may be found on the Church of England’s website. https://www.churchofengland.org/more/safeguarding.

​Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is Nathan Lyons, who may be contacted at church or via the Parish Office: 020 7713 6073.
​You can contact the London Diocesan Safeguarding Officer on 020 7932 1224 or e-mail: [email protected]
