Re: [ranchos] Re: Question about Confirmations, and Expuestos

[Smiley <smileysway2@...>]

...baptisms usually happen within the 1st year of a child's life; and the confirmations happen when they turn 12-13 years of age; and as far as "expuestos", my mother in law (who is a devout Catholic) states this is a word used when the child has NOT been confirmed.  They are outside of the church, or possibly going to another church or have moved out of the area.  I hope this helps you out Chris...
