Baptism 

In Holy Baptism we are incorporated into Christ’s body, infused with Christ’s character, and empowered to be Christ's reconciling presence in the world. The appropriate dates for baptism, according to the Book of Common Prayer (p. 312), are the Easter Vigil, the Day of Pentecost, All Saints’ Day, the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord, and when a bishop is present.  In addition, Palmer offers the Sunday after Easter for baptisms.  If you’re planning on having a child baptized, please arrange for the baptism before you invite out of town friends and relatives to attend. 

Please contact Catherine Beebe to learn more about baptism at Palmer. For consultation about baptism, please contact the Rev'd Allen Junek.

Confirmation

Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength for the Holy Spirit through prayer and laying on of hands by the bishop. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 860)
