CORPUS CHRISTI CATHOLIC  CHURCH

Baptisms

The holy Baptism is the foundation of the whole Christian life, the portico of life in the spirit ("vitae spiritualis ianua") and the door that opens the access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and regenerated as children of God, we become members of Christ and we are incorporated into the Church and become participants in his mission. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1213)

Anointing of the Sick

The Anointing of the Sick "is not a sacrament only for those who are about to die.

And this same can be applied to the elderly whose strength weakens "(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1515).
