* Baptism
* Penance and Reconciliation (informally called Confession)
* Eucharist (informally called Communion)
* Confirmation (in Eastern Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Church, equivalent to chrismation)
* Holy Matrimony
* Holy Orders
* Anointing of the Sick (also called Extreme Unction)


We do all of these. We don't make big complicated ceremonies out of them, except for marriage, of course.

So, when you anoint the sick, do they ever get healed? They very often do in my church.

What about foot washing? You guys don't honor that command? What about baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire?

Of course we do! To which church do you belong?

My poor,uneducated FR colleague...

We do the foot washing...every year. Baptism with the Holy Spirit and Fire...that's called Baptism and Confirmation.

Read up and research before shooting off your mouth...that is, your keyboard.

Actually, this is done during the Lenten season. But I wasn't aware this was a sacrament.
