The Sanctifying Function of the Church » The Sacraments » The Sacrament of Confirmation » The celebration of confirmation
Canon 880. §1 The sacrament of confirmation is conferred by anointing with chrism on the forehead in a laying on of hands, and by the words prescribed in the approved liturgical books.

§2 The chrism to be used in the sacrament of confirmation must have been consecrated by a Bishop, even when the sacrament is administered by a priest.

§1. Sacramentum confirmationis confertur per unctionem chrismatis in fronte, quae fit manus impositione atque per verba in probatis liturgicis libris praescripta.

§2. Chrisma in sacramento confirmationis adhibendum debet esse ab Episcopo consecratum, etiamsi sacramentum a presbytero ministretur.
Canon 881. It is desirable that the sacrament of confirmation be celebrated in a church and indeed during Mass. However, for a just and reasonable cause it may be celebrated apart from Mass and in any fitting place.


Expedit ut confirmationis sacramentum in ecclesia, et quidem intra Missam, celebretur; ex causa tamen iusta et rationabili, extra Missam et quolibet loco digno celebrari potest.
