ANOINTING WITH CHRISM:
(The Bishop (with miter and crosier), will move to the center aisle in two rows for the conferral of
the sacrament.
The Deacon/MC brings the chrism to the bishop. The deacon, a pastor or a server may assist by
holding the chrism standing at the bishop’s right. One server assists by holding a towel and
standing near the bishop. Another server may hold the crosier if this is the desire of the bishop.
The pastor of the group being confirmed will position himself to the left of the bishop.
The candidates, accompanied by sponsors with right hand on candidate’s right shoulder, process
down the center aisle two-by-two, as directed by the ushers to the bishop. The candidates all
wear nametags with only their Confirmation name printed in large legible lettering so that the
bishop may read the name from the nametag. The typed name card with the candidate’s
information is to be handed to an assistant as the candidate approached the bishop. This card is
used for record keeping.
Candidates should move close to the Bishop who will lay his hand on their head and anoint the
candidate with his thumb. Do not wait at the first pew but rather immediately behind the
candidate being confirmed.)
Bishop:
N., Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Candidate:
Amen.
Bishop:
Peace be with you.
Candidate:
And with your spirit.
Obispo: N., recibe por esta señal el Don del Espíritu Santo.
Confirmando: Amen!
Obispo: La paz este contigo.
Confirmando: Y con tu espíritu
During the conferral of the sacrament, instrumental music may be played which allows the faithful
to hear the conferral of the sacrament. If there are a large number of candidates, the choir may
lead the assembly in singing a refrain occasionally to help the assembly stay focused on the
liturgical action rather than visiting with their neighbor.
[After the anointing, the Bishop will cleanse his hands with lemon and water. The Deacon will
assist the Bishop at the credence table. The Intercessions will then begin.]
[The bishop does not wear the miter nor hold the crosier during the Intercessions.]
The parish/community may prepare suitable intercessions or adapt the General Intercessions that
follow.]
