The Sanctifying Function of the Church » The Sacraments » The Sacrament of Confirmation » The minister of confirmation
Canon 883. The following have, by law, the faculty to administer confirmation:

1° within the confines of their jurisdiction, those who in law are equivalent to a diocesan Bishop;

2° in respect of the person to be confirmed, the priest who by virtue of his office or by mandate of the diocesan Bishop baptises an adult or admits a baptised adult into full communion with the catholic Church;

3° in respect of those in danger of death, the parish priest or indeed any priest.

Ipso iure facultate confirmationem ministrandi gaudent:

1° intra fines suae dicionis, qui iure Episcopo dioecesano aequiparantur;

2° quoad personam de qua agitur, presbyter qui, vi officii vel mandati Episcopi dioecesani, infantia egressum baptizat aut iam baptizatum in plenam Ecclesiae catholicae communionem admittit;

3° quoad eos qui in periculo mortis versantur, parochus, immo quilibet presbyter.
