Best Answer

Viaticum is the Holy Eucharist as administered to those who are dying or in danger of death. It is usually administered during the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. However, if no priest is available for the anointing, an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist may provide the Eucharist to the person but they would be unable to anoint the person or hear their confession.
