Information about forthcoming confirmation services across the Diocese.
Find out more about exploring confirmation with the Church of England.
If you wish to enquire about presenting candidates at any of these confirmation services do contact the relevant member of clergy. If you have candidates for confirmation and are considering organising a service then please contact your area bishop’s office to make arrangements. Do let your local colleagues know of any forthcoming date at an early opportunity in case they wish to present candidates.

Each time a confirmation takes place, the member of clergy should complete a Confirmations Returns Form (often referred to as the “Blue Form”) and email it to Brenna Wells brenna.wells@dioceseofnorwich.org. It is really important that we maintain accurate records of confirmations. The form can be downloaded below.
