I was baptized and had my first communion in the Catholic faith. However, I was never confirmed in the Catholic faith instead being confirmed in the Lutheran faith as a result of my fathers marriage to a Lutheran. I never really thought much about it until I recently started to really reconnect to my faith by attending Mass weekly. Do I need to be confirmed in the Catholic faith to complete the Sacrament of Confirmation? If so, which I am hoping since my confirmation in the Lutheran faith meant very little to me, how do I go about starting the process?
 
The Church does not recognize Lutheran confirmation as valid. You would need to contact your parish priest about receiving the sacrament. Every parish has its own process for doing this so you need to contact them to see what it is. Essentially you will have two options for receiving the sacrament of confirmation. Either at the Easter Vigil or at a confirmation ceremony when the bishop comes (or someone appointed by him).
