Embracing the Sacramental Life: Baptism, Confirmation, and Reception
Sunday, August 25

During our kick-off  formation class, we will return "back to basics" as we discuss the nature and purpose of the Sacraments; how they impact our lives; and why they matter. We will also discuss the Sacrament of Confirmation and the ritual practice of Reception into The Episcopal Church. For further reading, we will be providing free copies of Fr Andrew Davison’s book, "Why Sacraments?" – a must-have for those seeking  a modern perspective on Anglo-Catholic sacramentality.

Ecclesia Anglicana: Anglicanism & The Catholic Faith
​Sunday, October 20 & 27
​& Sunday, November 3
Following the 11AM Solemn High Mass

To be Anglican is to be Catholic. Yet, as Archbishop Michael Ramsey writes, "Anglicanism's  credentials are its incompleteness... it is sent not to commend itself as “the best type of Christianity,” but by its very brokenness to point to the universal Church wherein all have died." Join us for this three-part series as we survey the identity, history, and practice of Anglicanism and the Catholic faith. ​
