Who receives the anointing of the sick?

People that are are dying/about to die, have a chance of dying because of something (Such as before a high-risk surgery), or are just very ill. The person to receive the Anointing must be a baptized Catholic. If capable and if needed, they should go to confession first, and receive Holy Communion afterward. I know that the sacrament forgives venial sin, I am not sure about mortal sin in the case of someone no longer capable of making a good confession prior to receiving the sacrament - you would need to ask the priest that. The Catechism says that the sacrament "obtains the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of Penance.


Is a sponsor a person who gives spiritual help and encouragement to someone preparing for confirmation?

Yes. Each candidate is asked to choose someone to support, advise and guide them through their confirmation. Our parish family usually advises our candidates for confirmation to ask a God Parent, grandparent, older sibling, aunt, uncle or may ask someone outside their family, often a person they may respect or admire, from their parish family. Any person who has completed confirmation and can provide the Roman Catholic Church when and where they were confirmed, is acceptable.
