Confirmation
What is confirmation?
Confirmation is a sacred rite where baptized individuals publicly affirm their faith and promises made at baptism.
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 local 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.

Confirmation In Southwark Cathedral Last Year
Last year it was a joy to see 40 people from across the See of Fulham in the Diocese of Southwark come forward for Confirmation. We were absolutely delighted that 11 of them were from St Alban’s. The service was a wonderful celebration of commitment, community, and spiritual growth, and we are grateful to everyone who shared in making the day so special.
