TLM Confirmation

[AndrewF1995]

Hello!
Next year I am making my confirmation, and I am traditional when it comes to church. It would mean the world to me if there was a way I could get confirmed in the Latin mass. Is it allowed now?
I want to so bad and I believe my bishop knows how to say the mass, but I don’t believe he would just for me. Does the bishop have to be the one to confirm someone?

Thanks!

Traditionally confirmation doesnot take place during Mass. Since Summorum Pontificum, which made clear that confirmation can be done in the old form, our bishop has done confirmation annually. This years is next month. After the procession, confirmation is administered using the form in force in 1962. Then they process out, a recessional. Shortly after that, the chaplain celebrates the EF Mass for that Sunday. Last year a previous committment forced the bishop to leave after confirmation. During the years he is able to stay, he is the one who administers first holy communion to the just confirmed children after our chaplain and servers receive.

the Bishop normally would be the one to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation, but in certain cases he may assign a priest to do it for him. priests can also perform confirmation in cases of emergency (my child was baptized and confirmed in the hospital prior to his surgery by a priest)

its best to ask your priest about this as the case will vary from Bishop to Bishop

Thank you! I will contact my bishop!

I checked Summ. Pont.

Article 9 §2. Ordinaries are given the right to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation using the earlier Roman Pontifical, if the good of souls would seem to require it.

By my reading, it seems that the right to confirm in the Extraordinary Form is limited to “ordinaries” (ie, the bishop of a diocese, usually). While a bishop can indeed delegate the faculties to confirm to any priest, I don’t think he can delegate this for the EF. At least that’s how I read it.

I am very happy to know though that there are some bishops out there making Confirmation in the EF available!

FrDavid, it seems to me that your interpertation of SP is correct. That may be why it has always been the bishop, not our chaplain, who has administered the sacrament for the members of the TLM or EF community.
