The normal process for adults (as well as children age 7 and above) baptized in another Christian denomination is the OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults). This process may also be appropriate for adults baptized Catholic who have not received Eucharist and Confirmation.

Adult Catholics who have not been confirmed and wish to receive the sacrament of confirmation may also contact the office or a parish priest or deacon.
