Roman Catholic Answerfrom The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994

1113 The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments. (Cf. Sacrosanctum concilium 6) There are seven sacraments in the church: Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. (Cf. Council of Lyons II (1274) Denzinger-Schonmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum {1965} 860).
