Sacrament of Healing
The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness.
Confirmation
​Sacrament of Initiation​

Confirmation completes the baptismal grace, in Confirmation (the baptized) are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. They become true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.
