While confirmation can be administered at any age, the general practice in the United States is to administer confirmation to adolescents and older people who convert to Catholicism. At the Easter Vigil service, confirmation is administered by the priest to converts who were baptized previously, even if they were baptized in another Christian tradition. Otherwise, the bishop is the ordinary minister of confirmation.
