Roman Catholic AnswerThere are three oils that are blessed, actually two are blessed, and one is consecrated at the Chrism Mass on the morning of Holy Thursday each year. The Oil of Catechumens, and the Oil of the Sick are both made from pure olive oil; the Sacred Chrism is the three oil, and it is consecrated by the Bishop, it is made from pure olive oil with the addition of balsam. The Oil of Catechumens is used in the administration of baptism, also in the consecration of churches, in the blessing of altars, ordination of priests and is used in the coronation of Catholic monarchs. The Oil of the Sick is used for the anointing of the sick.
