Q: This morning, a father approached me regarding his son’s girlfriend who has Mexican citizenship but lives and works here. She is baptized Catholic, 24 years old but not yet confirmed and has not received first communion yet. What is the way for me to help this woman to get the Sacrament of Confirmation and First Communion? Does she need OCIA classes? Can she just have first communion only and confirmation later? Thanks.

A: God bless you for helping her.
OCIA #400 considers her case among the candidates. She may receive preparation with the group and receive those two sacraments together. However, either she presents herself for an upcoming celebration of confirmation with your bishop, or you need to ask the bishop for permission to confirm her yourself.
