What else can I help you with?
Can a monsignor perform the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Roman Catholic Church?
In special cases and with the permission of a bishop, any priest can give the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Why confirmation is called sacrament of witnessing?
Roman Catholic AnswerTo the best of my knowlege, the sacrament of confirmation has never been know as the "sacrament of witnessing", at least not in any Catholic Encyclopedia OR Catechism that I have and they are from the Council of Trent up to the current Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Do you have to be baptized catholic to make 1st communion?
Yes, you do. However, if you are baptized in another Christian religion and desire to become Catholic, you will not be baptized again as catholics recognize the one baptism. You will need to take special classes before receiving communion and confirmation.
What is a candidate for confirmation?
Usually a young person between the ages of 12 - 15 years..Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church, any person who has been baptized is a candidate for confirmation. Confirmation is administered as the same time as baptism, except in the Latin Rite. In the Latin Rite, the age for confirmation is set by the diocesan bishop. The candidate is called a confirmand.
Can a priest be a confirmation sponsor?
Yes, a priest can be a confirmation sponsor in the Catholic Church. Canon law states that a baptized Catholic who is confirmed, has received the Eucharist, is in good standing with the Church, and is not the parent of the one being confirmed can serve as a sponsor. Since priests meet these criteria, they are eligible to be confirmation sponsors.
Do you have to be over 18 to be a sponsor at confirmation?
Roman Catholic AnswerAlthough your parish or diocese may have specific requirements for a Confirmation sponsor, I believe the only absolute requirement is that he or she already be Confirmed in the Catholic Church, in the same rite that you are seeking Confirmation.
What is different in the sacristy during Catholic confirmation?
The sacristy is where the clergy vest for services, and where items are stored. During confirmation, there would be no one in the sacristy, which is no different than any other liturgical function. If the Sacred Chrism is stored there, it would not be there as the Bishop or priest would be using it for confirmation.
Can a confirmation candidate marry the sponsor's daughter?
Of course. The sponsor's daughter is not a member of your family. You may marry her in the same way as any other Catholic.
Are there any classes that teach how to properly apply makeup?
There are classes that teach people to apply makeup but they are usually so that you can get a job applying makeup. She can watch some videos on You Tube though.
How would you greet someone who has been confirmed?
Attending confirmation classes and subsequent Confirmation within an Anglo/Catholic church would not necessarily change any typical form of address. If you have a close relationship with the individual, it is acceptable to address them by their Christian or First name. If the individual is your elder, such as an adult and you are under the age of 21, it remains today appropriate to address them by their surname; unless, however, you've already been invited to address them by their Christian name.
How do you enter the Church for a Catholic wedding?
Confirmation is not required for marriage in the Catholic Church; it is strongly suggested and perhaps can be made before or after marriage either in an adult confirmation program or as part of RCIA.
Going Catholic how do you do it?
Go to your local church, ask if there are any baptismal ceremonies coming up, get baptized. Then after that, if you are over the age of 18, you must have your First Holy Communion and your Confirmation. You are usually baptized when you are a baby if your family is too and wants you to be Catholic. Then you have your First Holy Communion when you are in second grade, then, when you are 17 or 18, you have you Confirmation. It may take a lot of Religion classes for you to be able to receive First Holy Communion and Confirmation, but if you wish to be Catholic you must go through with it. Then after all of that you must go to mass every Sunday and Holy Days to receive Holy Communion (the Eucharist). Trust me, I'm a Catholic, I know what I'm doing!ANSWER:Cute. :-)1. Visit a Catholic Church in your neighborhood.2. Tell the priest you'd like to consider becoming a Catholic.3. Ask about their RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) program.4. If you were baptized in a non-Catholic Christian denomination, you will not be re-baptized. You'll just need to receive the other Sacraments of Christian initiation: Confession/Reconciliatiion, Holy Communion/Eucharist and ConFIRMation.5. Process takes approximately 4 to 5 months; faster if necessary for some legitimate reason.
