Baptism is the first of the Sacraments of Christian Initiation that opens the path to other sacraments. With the holy water, we are freed from original sin and enter life with Christ as a child of God, leaving an indelible mark on the baptized.

Anointing of the Sick is intended for those who have a serious illness or are in danger of death. It serves to strengthen and restore the soul.
