The liturgical life of the Church, how ever, deviated from those legal norms. The second part determines time and various “occasions” in w hich the sacrament of confirmation in the Przemyśl diocese was given. Most often the sacrament was given on the day of Pentecost and on the occasion of parochial visitations.
