Bishop Doyle's visit
We are asking for anyone who is interested in Confirmation, Reception, and/or Reaffirmation, to please speak with Father Mark. There will be Sunday evening classes, held at 6pm on Sunday, Sept 8, and Sept 22. If you miss a class or see this announcement after the classes have begun, please speak with Fr. Mark. The classes will focus on learning; attendance does not automatically mean you are being confirmed. If you are not certain what it means to be confirmed, or an Episcopalian, or reaffirmed, please attend the classes to learn. Your decision of whether or not to go before the bishop will be respected.
