The Seven Sacraments of the Church

"Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation (or Chrismation), the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life[1]: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life."

Taken from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Part Two: 
The Celebration of the Christian Mystery, Section Two, The Seven Sacraments of the Church, 1210.
