Priests administer the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation (confession), the Holy Eucharist, and Anointing of the Sick. They officiate at Matrimony (although it is the couple themselves who actually administer the sacrament to each other). Holy Orders is reserved to bishops only, who are the normal ministers of Confirmation as well. However, priests can serve as the ministers of Confirmation with permission of the bishop.
