Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments recognized by the Church Catholic. It is received once in a lifetime. A candidate for Confirmation should be a person between the ages of 14 and 18 (of course, under certain circumstances, the upper age limit may be higher), baptized, regularly practicing their faith and receiving Holy Communion. The sacrament of Confirmation confers the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For young Catholics, Confirmation is the next stage of spiritual development, after Baptism and Holy Communion. It is a special event. This is because Confirmation is administered by the bishop himself. Candidates taking part in this sacrament choose a name one of the saints recognized by Catholic Church. Their task is also to choose a witness to accompany them as they receive the sacrament.
In this situation, the question often arises: does parent may witness Confirmation? The answer is clear - a parent cannot be a witness to Confirmation. This follows directly from the Code of Canon Law. In this case, who may witness Confirmation? A person who is at least 16 years of age, is Catholic, has been baptized, has received the sacrament of the Eucharist and Confirmation, and is not a parent of the person being confirmed.
