How to administer last rites in the Catholic Church?
To administer last rites in the Catholic Church, a priest typically performs the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, also known as Extreme Unction. This involves anointing the sick or dying person with blessed oil, offering prayers for forgiveness and strength, and administering Holy Communion if possible. The priest may also offer the Apostolic Pardon, a special blessing for the forgiveness of sins. It is important to contact a priest as soon as possible when someone is nearing the end of their life to ensure they receive the sacraments.

What is the Sacrament for the dying?
Catholic AnswerThere is not a specific sacrament for the dying, I believe what you are referring to used to be known as Last Rites. Last Rites consists, if possible, of confession, Anointing, Holy Communion, and the Last Blessing, which amounts to three Sacraments plus the Blessing. The Last Blessing follows the Sacrament of Anointing (used to be called Unction or Extreme Unction) and the priest imparts the Apostolic Blessing which gives a plenary indulgence to the dying person.
