There are actually 4 pillars of the Catholic Church: the Creed, Sacraments/Liturgy, Life in Christ, and Prayer. As we try to closely follow the early Christians in their teaching and examples, the four pillars are based on Acts 2:42: "And they held steadfastly to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers." The teaching of the apostles corresponds to the Creed, the fellowship and communal life corresponds to life in Christ, the breaking of the bread matches up with the Sacraments and Liturgy, and prayers with prayers. The Catechism of the Catholic Church follows these four pillars and the whole structure of the book is formed around them.
Creed - This constitutes knowing and understanding what the Catholic Church teaches.
Sacraments/Liturgy - Sacraments and Liturgy include the rites of the Church including the Sacraments, liturgical year, Liturgy of the Hours, and more. We should actively participate in both the Sacraments and Liturgy. The Eucharist should be the very center of Liturgical and Sacramental Life.
Life in Christ - Faith is meant to be lived and shared with others. We also need support from others who share the same beliefs and values so that we don't fall and lose our faith.
Prayer - An active prayer life is vital to having an active and vibrant faith. Prayer is what connects us to God. It is our lifeline. Some examples include the Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and prayers that you make up on your own.

I have never heard of the "four pillars of the Catholic Church" used as a term before, and I can't find it anywhere, in the Catechism, for instance. Then I found that it was used in the context of the Catechism - it's four sections, as enumerated above; where it refers to "the four pillars of the Catholic Catechism" NOT Church. The only pillar of the Catholic Church would be Jesus Christ. Resting on Him would be the Church which would include revelation both from the Bible and Tradition, and the ministerial priesthood, which would include the sacraments.
