A lay person may anoint with oil, although it is not sacramental.
A lay person may hear a confession, although it is not sacramental, and rather than pronouncing absolution, a general prayer of forgiveness is prayed together. Confessions heard by laity are NOT protected by the seal of the confessional.
A lay person may perform a wedding under government civil license. However, in this instance, in no way is the wedding considered sacramental.
The two sacraments that do not require an ordained minister to administer them are baptism and marriage. In cases of necessity, anyone, even a non-ordained person, can validly perform these sacraments.
It is ultimately up to the individual to decide on their level of participation in religious practices. If one does not wish to provide financial support to the minister, they can choose to show gratitude to God through other means such as service, prayer, or personal reflection.

Not all Catholic schools require uniforms, as it may vary depending on the individual school's policy. Some Catholic schools may opt to have a uniform dress code, while others may allow students to wear regular clothing within certain guidelines.
Schools in the United States are not allowed to require prayer or promote any specific religion due to the separation of church and state. However, they may offer religious studies as an elective course for academic purposes. It is important for schools to maintain a neutral stance on religion to respect the diverse beliefs of all students and families.

Certainly,as the sacrament of Ordination ( raising a layman to the Holy Orders of Priesthood, Deacon, or Bishop) is reserved to Bishops and above. Most other sacraments require only a priest- such as communion. Holy Orders and Confirmation require a celebrant of Episcopal ( Bishop) rank! As he is Bishop of Rome, along with everything else, certainly the Pope can ordain clergy- Paul VI staged a massive open-air Mass where large classes of seminarians were ordained in the Philippines in the 70"s.
