The Sanctifying Function of the Church » The Sacraments » The Sacrament of Confirmation » The minister of confirmation
Canon 884. §1 The diocesan Bishop is himself to administer confirmation or to ensure that it is administered by another Bishop. If necessity so requires, he may grant to one or several specified priests the faculty to administer this sacrament.

§2 For a grave reason the Bishop, or the priest who by law or by special grant of the competent authority has the faculty to confirm, may in individual cases invite other priests to join with him in administering the sacrament.

§1. Episcopus dioecesanus confirmationem administret per se ipse aut curet ut per alium Episcopum administretur; quod si necessitas id requirat, facultatem concedere potest uni vel pluribus determinatis presbyteris, qui hoc sacramentum administrent.

§2. Gravi de causa, Episcopus itemque presbyter, vi iuris aut peculiaris concessionis competentis auctoritatis facultate confirmandi donatus, possunt in singulis casibus presbyteros, ut et ipsi sacramentum administrent, sibi sociare.
