Much like baptism, confirmation focusses on the reception and stirring up of the gifts of the Holy Spirit which produce the fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Ordinations take place through a training program with RCWP Canada. There is no permanent deaconate – ordination as a deacon leads to ordination as a priest. The bishop of RCWP Canada is ordained mainly to ordain other qualified women. She does not take an administrative role. Candidates vow obedience to Christ, not the bishop.
