    MINISTER OF CONFIRMATION

    The original minister of Confirmation is the bishop. In the East,

    ordinarily the priest who baptizes also immediately confers

    Confirmation in one and the same celebration. But he does so with

    sacred chrism consecrated by the patriarch or the bishop, thus

    expressing the apostolic unity of the Church whose bonds are

    strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation. In the Latin Church,

    the same discipline applies to the Baptism of adults or to the reception

    into full communion with the Church of a person baptized in another

    Christian community that does not have valid Confirmation.


    MINISTER OF CONFIRMATION

    In the Latin Rite, the ordinary minister of Confirmation is the bishop.

    Although the bishop may for grave reasons concede to priests the

    faculty of administering Confirmation, it is appropriate from the very

    meaning of the sacrament that he should confer it himself, mindful that

    the celebration of Confirmation has been temporally separated from

    Baptism for this reason. Bishops are the successors of the apostles. They

    have received the fullness of the sacrament of Holy Orders. the

    administration of this sacrament by them demonstrates clearly that its

    effect is to unite those who receive it more closely to the Church, to her

    apostolic origins, and to her mission of bearing witness to Christ.


    MINISTER OF CONFIRMATION

    If a Christian is in danger of death, any priest should give him

    Confirmation. Indeed the Church desires that none of her children, even

    the youngest, should depart this world without having been perfected by

    the Holy Spirit with the gift of Christ's fullness.


    EVERY PERSON WHO HAVE
    RECEIVED THE SACRAMENT
    OF BAPTISM

    AGE OF DISCRETION
    WHEN ONE RECEIVES THE
    SACRAMENT OF
    CONFIRMATION, HE MUST BE
    IN STATE OF GRACE. ONE
