weekdays

Pilgrims in Christ: Thursdays, 7 to 8:30 p.m. (September through May)
Pilgrims in Christ is an intensive adult formation class that is modeled on the ancient catechumenate, which prepared newcomers to the faith for Holy Baptism. Pilgrims is a bit broader in its intention and is designed for all who are seeking Baptism, Confirmation, Reception into the Episcopal Church, Reaffirmation of Baptismal Vows, or simply an opportunity to deepen one’s relationship with Christ and learn more about the Episcopal/Anglican tradition. Pilgrims meets on the first three Thursday evenings of each month, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., September through May. The purpose of this class is twofold: to enrich one’s life of faith and to do so in the context of companionship and fellowship. The first six classes will be a self-contained introduction to Anglicanism, and anyone would be welcome to participate for just the first six weeks in order to prepare for Reception into the Episcopal Church. The first class will be held on Thursday, September 7. This year’s classes will be in a hybrid in-person/Zoom format to allow more people to participate. Register here, or contact Father Kyle with questions.
