Confirmation

Anybody who might be interested in confirmation — which is usually for young people aged 12+ and adults, and for which there is no charge — is asked initially to speak with the Churchwardens.

Arrangements will then be made to put prospective candidates in touch with the Rev Steve Ransley (Vicar at St Catharine’s Church, Houghton-on-the-Hill, and Oversight Minister at Living Hope Church Thurmaston), who has kindly offered to lead confirmation preparation.

Bishop Saju Muthalaly, the Bishop of Loughborough, confirmed candidates at St Michael & All Angels, Thurmaston on Sunday 19th October 2025, in a service of Holy Communion and Confirmation at 11am. A Deanery Confirmation Service is due to be held at St Mary’s, Sileby on Sunday 11 October 2026.

More information is available from the Church of England’s confirmation pages.
