Sacrament of Baptism
Catholic baptism is the sacred rite of welcoming someone into the Church, freeing them from original sin, and granting them sanctifying grace through the blessing of water and Chrism oil, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While most often performed on infants to initiate them into a life of faith and the community of believers, it is a one-time sacrament of initiation that provides a new spiritual identity and makes the person a member of the body of Christ.
