To properly perform a Catholic baptism, a priest or deacon must use water to pour or immerse the person being baptized, while saying the words "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." This sacrament is usually performed during a Mass or a separate ceremony in the presence of witnesses.
