Absolutely beautiful celebration!
Two weeks ago, the RCIA candidates from the Albany diocese were welcomed by the bishop at the Cathedral of the Immacualte Conception, where they signed their names to the register. I also found the following information at the diocese web site. It complements what you have already written.
OF SPECIAL NOTE: CONFIRMATION
Adults who come into the Church through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults receive Confirmation with Baptism and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil as administered by the priest. However, this opportunity is taken to respond to several inquiries regarding the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation in other circumstances. According to the liturgical laws of the Church, the ordinary minister of Confirmation is a bishop. However, at the Easter Vigil, on Pentecost Sunday, and at other times during the year, a priest may celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation, in virtue of faculties granted directly by canon law or by the Bishop (Canon 882) in the following situations:
1. To confirm an adult who was previously baptized in another Christian tradition, when that person is received into full communion with the Catholic Church (Canon 883.2 gives the faculty).
2. To confirm an adult who was previously baptized in the Catholic Church but who was raised in neither the Catholic faith nor any other faith tradition upon the person's reconciliation with the Church (Diocesan faculties granted by Bishop Hubbard on January 1, 1985)
3. To confirm an adult who was baptized in the Catholic Church but who had been brought up in or joined another non‑Catholic Christian religion, and now seeks full reception in the Catholic Church. The Confirmation would take place at the time of their reception. (Diocesan faculties granted by Bishop Hubbard on January 1, 1985).
N.B. Catholic Confirmation is never repeated, so, if a person joined another non‑Catholic Christian religion following Catholic Confirmation and now wishes to return, they would be received back into the Catholic Church, but not confirmed again. (Canon 845, 1)
HOWEVER, IT IS RESERVED TO THE BISHOP to confirm a person who was baptized in the Catholic Church and raised in the faith but had lapsed in the practice of their faith and then after a period of time (often many years) now desires to be confirmed and to actively involved in the life of the Church.
It is also reserved to the Bishop to confirm a person who was baptized in the Catholic Church and raised in the faith, but for some reason was never confirmed.
Often, for pastoral reasons, those previously baptized in the Catholic faith, but never confirmed join Catechumens and Candidates for Full Communion through the parish R.C.I.A. process. The faculty to confirm these adults must be requested, in each instance, from the bishop. This faculty is granted with the clear expectation that the appropriate catechetical preparation has been completed. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED FORM.
