Baptism is the sacrament by which a person is initiated into the Catholic Church. In Baptism, the person is symbolically “washed” with water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The sacrament is performed by a priest who administers the sacrament, who is called a “baptizer.” The sacrament of Baptism is one of the three sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church. The other two are Confirmation and Eucharist.
