There are a number of Catholic cleansing rituals, starting with Baptism, which involves a ritual cleansing with water which actually removes sin from the person. In a very similar fashion, Confession removes sin, but does not involve the ritual cleansing with water. Every Catholic Church and chapel usually has holy water fonts at each entrance so that people may put their fingers in to bless themselves, ritually remembering their baptism, as they cross themselves. There is the rite known as ''Asperges'' which is a blessing with water where the priest sprinkles holy water on the entire congregation at the beginning of Mass.
