Catholic Answer. According to the old Baltimore Catechism, A Sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace. There are seven of them, Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. The Catechism of the Catholic Church gives the following definition:The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required dispositions. Thus they are the way in which God imparts saving grace to our soul in order for us to be saved.
