The major events in the Catholic Church correspond to major events in the life of Jesus and the saints. Some include the Annunciation, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Easter, The Ascension, Pentecost, the Assumption, Immacualte Conception, and Christmas.
There are other major events which do not correspond to any feast day but are rather events associated with various members and organizations within the Church. For example, World Youth Day, pilgrimages, retreats, and conferences of Catholic organizations.
There are also events which have to do with what is going on in the Church, for example, councils, such as Vatican II, and also the death of a Pope and the election of a new Pope, the canonization of a saint, a proclamation or publication of an encyclical, and the coming of the Pope or cardinal or bishop to some important place like Fatima or Lourdes.

∙ 13y agoI presume that by "celebrations" you mean Sacraments.
A sacrament is an outward sign, instituted by Christ, that gives sanctifying grace.
These are the seven Sacraments:
1) Baptism
2) Confirmation
3) Penance
4) the Holy Eucharist
5) Extreme Unction
6) Holy Orders
7) Matrimony

∙ 10y agoIt's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church celebrates three different kinds of Festivals, which are labeled Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials. There is one or another of them nearly every day of the year, if no feast occurs on a given day, then it is called a Feria.
As an example, the first week of the year:
January
1 The Octave Day of the Nativity of the Lord: Mary, the Holy Mother of God
Solemnity - holy day of obligation (which means that you must attend Mass even though it is not a Sunday
2 Saints Basil the Greg and Gregory Nazianzen, bishops, doctors of the Church
Memorial
3 Christmas weekday (feria) or The Most Holy Name of Jesus
optional memorial - which means that it is up to the priest celebrant as to whether to observe the memorial or not
4 Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, religious (USA)
Memorial (the USA indicates that it is only an obligatory memorial for the United States)
5 The Epiphany of the Lord
Solemnity - it would be a holy day of obligation, but in most of the United States, it has been moved to Sunday, where it is still observed on the 6th, it is a Holy Day of Obligation
6 Christmas weekday; Saint Andre Bessette, religious (USA)
feria of Epiphany or optional memorial for the USA
7 Christmas weekday; Saint Raymond of Penyafort, priest
feria of Epiphany or optional memorial
As I said, most days have some feast, they are all listed in a book called the Ordo, which is what people who pray the Divine Office, and priests who celebrate Mass use to find out what feast is on what day. To see a copy of the Ordo, see the link below:
