In the Catholic Church, there are three types of oil that the priest use in administration of the sacraments. The oils are as follows:



Oil of the Infirm or sick (“Oleum Infirmorum“)

Oil of Catechumens (“Oleum Catechumenorum” or “Oleum Sanctorum“)

Chrism oil (“Sacrum Chrisma“) .

A Chrism mass is celebrated on Holy Thursday, which is when the first two oils are blessed and the Chrism oil is consecrated. The Chrism oil is from the word Christ which means the anointed one of God.



Oil has always been used in the Bible for sanctification, healing, strengthening, beautification, dedication, consecration and sacrifice. In Num11:7-9 the Israelites used it to cook, it was used for fuel in Matt 25:1-9, it was used as healing agent in Lk 10:34.



The Jews used oil to welcome visitors in Lk 7:46 , they also used it to prepare a dead body for burial in Mk16:1. Oil was also used for religious purposes, it was used by Jacob to dedicate a stone in honor of God in Gn 28:18.
