In between those times we will learn about the history of California, the Diocese, and the Cathedral while thinking about what we can add to the future. On Monday, we will join the SF MLK march before returning to the Cathedral for a light lunch.

Each year we have three different options, at different times for confirmation services.

The next scheduled Confirmation service is:
General Confirmation Service at Grace Cathedral on Saturday, May 31, 2025 at 10:00 am

We will update this page and the diocesan website when new dates are announced.

An outdoor service, participants at EcoConfirmation will uphold their baptismal vow to “cherish the wondrous works of God, and protect the beauty and integrity of all creation.” Together, the community will recommit itself to the fifth mark of mission: “to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.” Learn more about the history and liturgy of EcoConfirmation here.
A Eucharist reflecting evening themes, with hymns, Vesper Light draws on the simple and beautiful traditions for evening prayers from our Anglican heritage. We’ll listen to sacred texts, sing cantored chants and hymns, and pray for healing and hope for our community and world.
This service has all the fancy things you’ve come to love from our annual Confirmation service. Confirmands are to arrive at 9:00 am. The service should last a little over 2 hours.
