How long does confirmation take?

Answer 1

Reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation takes about two minutes.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is usually part of a Mass that can be from one to three hours long.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is usually preceded by classes that can last a few weeks or to up to two years depending on the age and maturity of the confirmand (the person preparing for the sacrament).

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Assuming you are an adult, you enroll in an RCIA class now (they're forming now; don't delay), and you get Confirmed at Easter next year.

Now, when I got Confirmed, I was joining the Church as an adult after briefly being Lutheran (and agnostic before that). I already believed in the Real Presence in the Eucharist. So I told a priest that I not think it would be spiritually healthy for me to go so long without receiving Communion (having become used to receiving Jesus in this form as a Lutheran). This priest thought about it, and offered to let me do accelerated classes one-on-one with him over a Summer. You might find a priest who'd be willing to do such a thing, but I can't guarantee it.

Answer 3

it all depends upon your age and how long you have been a part of the catholic church. if you were baptised at birth and have received your first eucharist, preparation only takes about two years as you go through confirmation 1 and confirmation 2. if you have not been active and haven't received your first eucharist, or weren't baptised at all, you enroll in the RCIA classes which meet once a week, and you will be baptised and/or confirmed and receive your first eucharist at the easter vigil next year. you can sign up for RCIA at any time, but classes officially start in august. contact your church for more info.
