Anointing the sick in the Roman Catholic Church, since near the end of the 12th Century, has been called the sacrament of Extreme Unction. In other venues, it has also been known as Last Rights, and Holy Unction. See link for other appellations.

It is also known as the Administration to the Sick in ecclesial communities.
