There is no direct evidence that Saint Paul instituted the sacraments, as they were established by Jesus Christ during his ministry. Paul did play a significant role in spreading the Gospel and explaining the importance of the sacraments in maintaining the saving work of Jesus through his letters and teachings to the early Christian communities.
When someone speaks about the "four sacraments of forgiveness" they are referring to Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Anointing of the Sick. Each of these sacraments have components of forgiveness within them.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Sacraments are visible signs of the hidden realities. The saving work of Jesus Christ, his holy and sanctifying humanity is the sacrament of salvation, which is revealed and active in the Church's sacraments. ( CCC 774). ... Christ now acts through the sacraments he instituted to communicate his grace. The sacraments are perceptible signs (words and actions) accessible to our human nature. By the action of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit they make present efficaciously the grace that they signify. (CCC 1084) "Celebrated worthily in faith, the sacraments confer the grace that they signify. (Cf. Council of Trent (1547): Denzinger-Schonmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorun, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum (1965) - (CCC 1127). The four sacraments, as mentioned above, that give forgiveness are Baptism, Confession, Anointing of the Sick, and the Eucharist forgives venial sin. All of these work efficaciously as Christ himself is as work in them, they depend (except baptism) on the receptivity of the individual for the actual grace received.

It is the most important celebration of the church because all seven sacraments are signs of God present in our lives.Catholic AnswerThe definition of a sacrament (from at least the time of St. Thomas Aquinas): "an efficacious sign of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us through the work of the Holy Spirit." (see Catechism, paragraphs 774, 1131). Thus the sacraments are not our work at all, but the work of God in which we are privileged to participate in. They are more than a celebration of the Church, particularly in the Most Holy Eucharist, which is Jesus Christ, Himself, present under the forms of Bread and Wine, we are talking God on earth for the sake of our salvation.
Jesus.
Jesus's teachings were written down in the bible through a secondary source, and the church tries to interpret that. SOmetimes teh church doesn't work as well as Jesus, or gets wrong information, becuase they or the writers of the bible are human.

In the first century AD people didn't have sir names like we have today. They were usually called by their line of work or where they lived. Jesus was called Jesus of Nazereth because that was where He was from.
All seven sacraments are important for Catholics. I suppose, however that you are talking about the sacrament that is most revered by them, the Eucharist, which they sometimes refer to as the Blessed Sacrament. Catholics believe that after the consecration, what remains of the bread and wine brought to the altar, is truly the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread and wine. The Blessed Sacrament is important for Catholics because Jesus Christ is truly present, and He is very important for Catholics indeed.

From the saving work of Christ on the Cross.
There is a lot of church sponsored humanitarian work--for example, Habitat for Humanity. Showing love for people all over the world is the essence of Jesus' message, as far as I'm concerned.
