First Holy Communion Class May 2005 According to the Prayer Book (p. 412), Confirmation is meant to be “a mature public affirmation of their faith” after due preparation. It is now generally agreed that the Sacrament of Confirmation should be administered at an older age than has been the custom in the past, with the consensus emerging throughout the Episcopal Church that “mature” means young adulthood, the 10th through 12th grade. In order to be a candidate for Confirmation, one must be baptized, active in worship, and participating in the EYC.
