It’s going to be looking a bit different this year. How different? We are still working that out… Pictured: Area Confirmations at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Raytown, Missouri (2019). Image credit: Donna Field

Since March, COVID-19 has put many things on hold, from Sunday visitations to meetings, our lives have been set on a different track than anyone could have anticipated. Although we’re still taking all the necessary precautions and keeping an eye on case numbers, we’re trying to resume some of our diocesan activities. One very important event we’re getting back on track with is confirmation.

we’ve arranged for four Area Confirmation services – one each month from now through December

We are aware there are many who were left waiting for the official service to recognize the time, thought and work put into confirmation preparation. To hopefully accommodate these individuals, we’ve arranged for four Area Confirmation services – one each month from now through December. All are scheduled for Saturdays, with a rehearsal at 1 p.m. and the service itself at 2 p.m.

Dates and locations are as follows:

October 17 at St. Philip’s, Joplin
November 21 at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, Kansas City
December 5 at St. John’s, Springfield
