Pastors are invited to use this Google Form to select three date preferences for the annual celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation in thier Parish(es). After collecting all the information, the Confirmation dates will be confirmed with parishes after they are approved by the Bishop.  

A diocesan bishop is appointed by the pope to teach, govern, and sanctify the people of God in a particular territory.  This is stated as such in the  Code of Canon Law:  "In exercising the function of a pastor, a diocesan bishop is to show himself concerned for all the Christian faithful entrusted to his care, of whatever age, condition, or nationality they are, whether living in the territory or staying there temporarily; he is also to extend an apostolic spirit to those who are not able to make sufficient use of ordinary pastoral care because of the condition of their life and to those who no longer practice their religion. ( Canon 383 §1)"
