49 .feel LDS Rites and Ceremonies The LDS Church is a church of relatively few special rites, ceremonies, or rituals, but those which are practiced, are considered very important. Consequently, they are actively maintained in the student wards, with some being more prevalent due to the age group involved. Since the majority of BYU students are already members of the Church, baptisms in the wards are few. However, since BYU is a denominational institution, many of the non-Mormon students are influenced by the things taught here, and conse- quently investigate the gospel and become converted, requiring baptism. Though there are not as many baptisms here as in a ward peopled by families with children, the ordinance takes on special significance when a friend or close roommate is able to perform it. Subsequent to baptism is confirmation, usually done in a meeting where the entire ward is in attendance. 25 Due to the emotional and physical strain of going to school and the pressure of making the important decisions which are required during these years, a great many special blessings are given to BYU students. The patriarchal blessing, available to any worthy member of the Church, proves to be invaluable in guidance and promises outlining to each recipient his own indi- vidual capacities. Blessings on the sick are given to restore the loss of emotional or physical health. These may be given by any worthy holder of the higher priesthood, such as a bishop, home teacher, or family brother. Perhaps the most frequent ceremony of the Church is the blessing and administration of the sacrament each week in Sunday School and Sacrament Meeting. lt is at that time, that each participant calls to mind the ordinances that he has received and the covenants he has made to himself and his Father in Heaven.
