The Anointing of the Sick is one of the seven sacraments. Usually, the priest goes to a hospital or a home (depending on the case) to bless those who are sick, injured, or are recovering.

the definition to "anointing of the sick" is the following:

all person who is believed to be severely ill is to be anointed meaning, the ill receives confession he also receives communion. The father will anoint him with blessed oil on his forehead. This will serve as the persons reconciliation with the church but most important with God and Jesus Christ. The person is anointed giving the possibility he/she may pass away.

As I am a practicing Catholic, I believe that Anointing of the Sick cleanses the person from all of their current sins when they are very sick, or have a risky operation to go into. Only if you think you might die should you have this.
