Catechumenate

In the late Winter and early Spring of each year, leading up to Easter, we offer the Catechumenate. This program is offered to those who are preparing for Holy Baptism, for Confirmation, and for formal Reception into the Episcopal Church. These rites take place at the Great Vigil of Easter, the ancient Christian service which takes place during the night before Easter Sunday, when one of our bishops administers the Sacraments. The Catechumenate includes evocative videos, small group discussion, and personal conversations with the clergy as the participants prepare to solemnly receive these Sacraments and to assume full membership in our community.
