Eucharist, or Holy Communion.
Theologians commonly refer to the Eucharist as the "source and summit of the Christian life." (cf. CCC no. 1324, Vatican II, LG, no. 11) All other aspects of the Christian life, including the other 6 sacraments, are designed to lead (or return) the Christian to a deeply intimate and personal encounter with Christ Jesus who humbled himself that we might truly touch and receive Him under the appearances of bread and wine. (cf. Jn 6:52-59, Mt 26:26-30, Mk 14:22-26, Lk 22:14-20, 1 Cor 11:23-29)

The central sacrament of the Roman Catholic church is called?
Roman Catholic Answer: One way of looking at a "central" sacrament would be The Most Holy Eucharist (the Mass and Holy Communion). All the other sacraments are means of grace. They are real actions which signify and actually impart the grace which they signify. The Eucharist is different, as It is actually the Body and Body, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus, Himself. It is His Reality.Every other sacrament leads up to the Eucharist or flows from It, but they are allowed aimed at It.
