Episcopal Visit & Confirmation – 2015

July 5, 2015 @ 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Confirmation Service is the completion of Baptism taken in the name of Jesus Christ. In Baptism, god-parents, on behalf of the child takes pledge that they will renounce Satan and his works, they will believe in Lord Jesus Christ and they will obey the Word of God in their lives. In Confirmation, the candidates take those responsibilities on themselves and accept the responsibility of their life in relation with God. Also the ‘confirmed’ candidates are incorporated into the full membership of the faith community. Through the Confirmation Service, the candidates are made eligible to participate in the Holy Communion which is the fellowship of the believers in the Body and Blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, remembering the great act of sacrifice by our Saviour.”

“Rt. Rev. Thomas K Oommen, Deputy Moderator of the Church of South India and the Bishop of Madhya Kerala Diocese is visiting the CSI Church, Toronto to grace the Service of Confirmation. During the Episcopal Visit, he will be confirming 10 candidates in their faith. Bishop Thomas K Oommen is the seventh bishop in Madhya Kerala Diocese, and falls in the twelfth position in the great lineage of the Anglican Bishops from the year 1879. Our beloved Thirumeni bears the legacy of the Kanjirappally family in Thalavady in Kerala. Dr. Susan Thomas is Thirumeni’s wife, and the President of the Women’s Fellowship, CSI Madhya Kerala Diocese. She is well known in the Theological circles and Women Empowerment endeavours. Mr. Sony Thomas and Mrs. Santeena Jean are the children of the family and they are married to Mrs. Asha and Dr. Jean respectively. Surely it is a blessing that we have the honoured presence of our Thirumeni and Kochamma with us for a couple of days. Let us pray, prepare and participate in the blissful service and be renewed in our spiritual journey.”
