The purpose of the sacraments is to make people holy, to build up the body of Christ, and finally, to give worship to God; but being signs, they also have a teaching function.
They not only presuppose faith, but by words and objects, they also nourish, strengthen, and express it; that is why they are called "sacraments of faith." The sacraments impart grace, but, in addition, the very act of celebrating them disposes the faithful most effectively to receive this grace in a fruitful manner, to worship God rightly, and to practice charity.
Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church:
Sacrament of Baptism
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Sacrament of Eucharist (Holy Communion)
Sacrament of Confirmation
Sacrament of Extreme Unction/Last Rites or Anointing of the Sick
Sacrament of Holy Orders
Sacrament of Matrimony
