Three and a half weeks. Ukrainian Catholics follow the practice of chrismation, where you are baptise, confirmed and recieve First Communion all at the same ceremony.
 
Baptized Lutheran as an infant. Confirmed and received into the Church at 43.
 
🤣

I’ve noticed that Dioceses usually set the age for Confirmation during that time when teens are most distracted, overworked academically, hormones are racing and they have the least interest in Church.

I was ten back then we were in the Detroiit Archdiocese. A bishop would come every two years and confirm all the fourth and fifth graders (I think in town THe Church was so packed it was full with just the children and sponsers. NO family was inside (My mom was my friends sponser and vice versa so they were there) This was 1965
 
In my country, when we baptize an adult (7 years old and over), we give him at the same time the three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, confirmation and the Eucharist, the confirmation is not postponed.
I was baptized baby, and my confirmation I took it at the age of 7 years. As soon as a child is born, he should be given baptism as soon as possible. And as soon as a child reaches the age of reason, we should seek to give him as soon as possible the sacraments of confirmation, penance and Eucharist, because it is the age where the fight against temptations begins and the confirmation gives permanently the gifts of the Holy Spirit to lead these fights

10 yrs old. And no it did none of that. We were too young. Mostly we were more focused on picking out cool Confirmation names at that age and age 10 as well was not what it is today.
