Write a letter to the Bishop requesting the sacrament of Confirmation using these guidelines.
This is a very important letter. The Bishop reads all letters before Confirmation. It is a way of introducing yourself to him. The Bishop often makes general reference to some of the material in the letters in his homily at Confirmation. Please give this letter the thought and time it deserves. Keep the letter to one page. Ask someone to proof-read it. Do not mail the letter. Letters must be typed and emailed to [email protected].
