The article did not mention when/at what age, first communion and confirmation would be done. Am I correct to guess 6th through 8th grade years? Or 12-14 as some Protestant congregations do for Baptism?
From the article:
“This will make available every sacramental grace the Church has to offer to children who have reached the age of reason,” he explained.That would make it around the age of 7 or 8, usually the 2nd Grade, which is the present age for First Communion.
I was confirmed at age 8, First Communion at age 7
In the Diocese of Fargo, children make their first Confession at seven. At eight (i.e., in third grade), they receive Confirmation and First Communion at the same Mass. That puts the sacraments in their original order.
“Or 12-14 as some Protestant congregations do for Baptism?”
Non-Baptist congregations usually do Confirmation at 7th grade and Baptism as infants. If you were not baptized, you are baptized at Confirmation if you choose.
