Eucharist (Communion) is one of the four sacraments of initiation along with Baptism, Reconciliation and Confirmation; it is called a Sacrament of the living as you must be in a state of grace to worthily receive it. Sacraments such as Baptism and Penance are "Sacraments of the dead" because you are dead in your sins when you receive them, and they restore you to a state of life.

The sacraments at the Service of Communion is from the Catechism, the header for Chapter Three of Part Two: Question 1533 names Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist as the Sacraments of Initiation. In 1544 It mentions two other sacraments, Holy Orders and Matrimony directed towards the salvation of others. These five sacraments are "at the Service of Communion".
