There are 7 sacraments, let's see if I still remember all of them..
Beginning from birth, you are given the sacrament of Baptism, a rite that signifies one becoming a christian.
Then when you get older, you are entitled to recieve the sacrament of Confirmation, where you voluntarily and whole heartedly "accept Christ" and accept your religion as Christian or Catholic.
Then along the way you may wanna get married and recieve the sacrament of Matrimony.
The opposite is the sacrament of Holy Orders when you want to serve Christ and be single forever.
Then when you get old, you will recieve the sacrament of Annointment in your death bed. This is being annointed from your sins.
I can't remember the other 2, hold on I'll check it for you...
Ok, the sacrament of Eucharist and the sacrament of Confession.
I cannot expalain the sacrament of Eucharist but I guess this is another privilege where we are given the chance to accept "the body of Christ". Remember during the last supper only the 10 apostles had the privilege to accept "His flesh and blood", but this sacrament gives us laymen equal opportunity with the priests to recieve "His flesh and blood" so that He will remain alive in us forever.
The sacrament of Confession is a regular sacrament we recieve our whole lives where we are always given a chance to repent our sins in everyday life. This is voluntary, as compared to the sacrament of Annointment where a dying person cannot repent anymore for his sins so the priest is the one that does it for him.
It feels good to refresh my theology lessons.
So in short, sacraments are privileges that God has given us.

Baptism is a sacrament by which someone accepts Christ as his Savior.
Holy Orders is the sacrament by which men the Catholic Church become priests or deacons.
Matrimony is the only sacrament that takes place without a priest; he is only the principal witness to the marriage of a man and a woman.

Baptism Communion/The Lord's Supper Annointing of the sick Some churches consider marriage and taking vows of holy orders as a sacrament, as well. __________ Ummm, Heart of God -- you might want to research that. Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Lutherans, etc. call things sacraments.

Baptism is a sacrament.
The nice man was welcomed into the church as everyone helped him celebrate his baptism.
