They add to the skill you use in perfoming the exorcism or whatever, if that's what you mean.
HW p. 236: "The usual outcome of the ritual is a bonus to the celebrant's target number [sic] for a specific contest..."
Of course, "target number" should be read as "ability rating" here.
What might be confusing is that the whole procedure, first the ritual boosting of an ability and then the actual use of the ability, often is lumped together and referred to as just "the ritual".
