The Rite is intended for use at the Eucharist following the Gospel. Whenever possible the Bishop presides.
The new rite of Affirmation of Holy Baptism is not understood as completion of baptism, nor a gateway to full participation in the Eucharist. The primary intention of the rite is pastoral. See Canon 25 'Of Admitting to Holy Communion' as amended in 2005.
