The Catholic Church is the "New Eve." The Catholic Church like the first Eve came forth from the "New Adam" or the "Second Adam." When the centurion pierced the side of Christ, the New Adam, blood and water flowed out. The Catholic Church was constituted and created in and through the blood of Christ. The first Eve was created from the side of Adam by a rib, the Second Eve was created from the side of the Second Adam by blood, baptized in water.
The Catholic Church was Confirmed in the Spirit, the work of re-creation complete on the day of Pentecost when God sent the Spirit upon the Church.
In summary: the Catholic Church was created from the Cross, or the Sacrifice of Christ, and this work of creation brought to a completion on the day of Pentecost with the sending of the Spirit.

Catholic AnswerAbout the year 33 A.D. when Our Blessed Lord said to the Apostle Peter: (St. Matthew's Gospel 16:17-19) :And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou are Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
So the Catholic Church was founded in the Apostle Peter, the "rock", Peter died in Rome, his tomb is under the high altar in St. Peter's Basilica - you can see it today if you take a tour of the Basilica. And every one of his successors has sat on his "chair" (in Latin it's called a cathedra from which we get our word, Cathedral: a Cathedral is the Church that houses the Bishop's chair). For a complete list of St. Peter's successors as head of the Church, see the link below:
