On Ember Saturday in the Octave of Pentecost, June 18, His Grace, the Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki, Archbishop of Milwaukee, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Extraordinary Form on nearly fifty candidates at St. Stanislaus Oratory.ICKSP - St. Stan's
Following the Confirmations, Canon Michael Wiener of the Institute celebrated a Solemn High Mass in the presence of Archbishop Listecki. His Grace was assisted during the Confirmations and the Mass by Canon William Avis, provincial Master of Ceremonies for the Institute’s US province, by Canon Glenn Gardner, and by Father Jean-Pierre Herman, an affiliate priest of the Institute.
After Mass, Archbishop Listecki greeted the faithful at the festive reception and received a gift showing the gratitude of the Institute and the faithful of the Oratory. He expressed his thanks to the Institute for the ministry it provides in the Archdiocese.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a first as far as I know. A few photos below, the whole set can be viewed at St. Stan's website.
Kudos to His Excellency!

I need to be in a diocese like that again. I miss the EF, I miss orthodoxy.
Deo Gratias!
Last year, Abp. Callahan performed confirmations, but I don't think it was Solemn High?
... Joe, if you miss orthodoxy you might want Madison and not Milwaukee... Like any diocese there are safe zone and there are ...danger zones.
Anon, yes, last year Bp. Callahan did similar to this. I don't have any details on the Mass last year, just that Bp. Callahan did the Traditional Confirmation.
