The Minster hosts a Diocesan Confirmation with 33 candidates from 16 parishes being presented.

The service will also include the rite of Holy Baptism. A light reception will follow the service.

The Bishop of Taunton writes: “A Confirmation Service is an opportunity for everyone attending to reflect on their own pilgrimage. The questions the candidates have to answer are ones you may want to ask yourself. Please use this service as a time to say a prayer: not just for the people you have come to support, but for yourself as well. May God bless you, and everyone who is confirmed.”

Do join us at 5pm for Prayers.
