Epiphany and Lenten Formation Series: Deepening and Renewal

Epiphany and Lenten Series in 2026

Deepening and Renewal: Preparing for the Next Chapter in our Parish Life

With the calling of its next rector, St. Paul’s is about to enter the next chapter of its parish life. To prepare for this, we are offering Epiphany and Lent programs for both youth and adults aimed at deepening our grasp of what it means to be in the Episcopal Branch of the Jesus Movement and committed to our Baptismal Vows — the core of Christian life. 

This season of renewal will culminate on Easter, April 5, with baptisms and a renewal of baptismal vows for the whole parish, and on April 19, 2026, when Bishop Sam Rodman will make his Episcopal Visitation, offering confirmation for youth and adults and reception of adults into The Episcopal Church (reception is for adults who have been confirmed in another denomination).

All adults are welcome to join us for this series. Youth classes will be held separately and are detailed here.

To express interest in being received into The Episcopal Church from another tradition or to be confirmed in The Episcopal Church, please fill out this short form. You may also reach out to Fr. Robert Fruehwirth at robert@stpaulscary.org.
