675. When are sacraments dispensed and acts of blessing performed?

The sacraments are dispensed in the divine service, after the forgiveness of sins and the prayer following.
The acts of blessing generally take place after the celebration of Holy Communion. Since confirmation has a direct relationship with the sacraments of Holy Baptism with water and Holy Sealing, it is performed before the celebration of Holy Communion. Since it entitles one to partake regularly in Holy Communion, the act of adoption likewise takes place before the celebration of Holy Communion.
