We are pleased to be hosting the autumn confirmation for our deanery here at St Hilda’s on 25 November 2025, 7pm. There are a few folk from our congregation who have expressed a desire to be confirmed. If you are interested too please let Jenni know. Confirmation classes will start in the Spring.

What is Confirmation?

Confirmation can be an important part of a lifetime journey of faith as a follower of Jesus Christ.

Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized. If you were baptized at a christening 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 and commit your life to following Jesus Christ. At a confirmation service, you make these promises for yourself. Your friends and family as well as the local Christian community will be there to promise to support and pray for you.

The 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.

Find out more about Confirmation on the Church of England website or talk to our Vicar, Jenni.
