Yes, at the Easter Vigil, the priests are delegated by the bishop to perform Confirmation for new members of the Church. General confirmations are done by the bishop.Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Latin Rite, although the ordinary minister of confirmation is the Bishop, priests have the "power" to confirm, but not faculties (i.e. permission from the Bishop) in the regular course of events. Priests may always confirm in danger of death, as the Church doesn't want anyone departing this world without having been perfect by the Holy Spirit with the gift of Christ's fullness. At other times (including the Easter Vigil) permission is extended by the Bishop to confirm adult converts when they are coming into the Church with Sacred Chrism consecrated by the Bishop. - from the Catechism of the Catholic Church # 1312-1314
