6.5.1 Confirmation: Prerequisites
The age of confirmation varies. It depends on the religious maturity and/or the stage in life at which adolescents are generally able to assess the consequences of their actions on their own and assume responsibility for their life of faith. Attending the divine services and Confirmation Instruction is a prerequisite for being confirmed.[70]
