This depends on the situation at the parish and in the diocese. Sometimes pastors of traditional parishes are granted faculties to confirm. In those cases, the confirmation may well take place immediately after reception into the Church, even in traditional parishes, even if it’s not Easter time.
Here’s the interesting part. I was told that if I am a convert, they have the faculties to confirm me at any time, but since at one point I thought I might have been baptized Catholic, I was told in that case I would have to wait for the Bishop. It’s still not conclusive where I was baptized (as a baby) (I was baptized as a Protestant adult as well), so just to be sure, I took the route of the new convert instead of the revert. I am fine with waiting for April. It should be a beautiful ceremony.
Will, you suggested I take this path, so thank you.
Thank you so much. This is the second mass that was offered for me. The priest offered a mass for me the day of my first confession. I feel so blessed!
Oh no, don’t say that!
Don’t do what I did. I didn’t open my mouth enough, he could barely place the Host on it!
Thank you, my Jewish brother and fellow NY’er!
Thank you Holly and may my new convert zeal also inspire a renewal in you (I’m praying for you!).Congratulations! Welcome home to the Catholic Church which is of course the Church that Jesus founded and the only true Church!
You know it seemed like forever because the moment I became interested in Catholicism in March, I burned to become Catholic.Wow! Not so long ago you were so frustrated at the length of time you had to wait before receiving Holy Communion… It’s just September!
Congratulations, TL. Welcome home. :extrahappy:
PS: I think it’s time to change your religion status once again.
So moving…my eyes just welled up. Welcome home!!!
