Isaiah 11:2 Says about this 7 gifts:

The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

In Septuagint a Greek version of the Hebrew Bible which was adopted by the early Christian Churches, in Chapter Esaias (Isaiah) 11:2, it says


...Spirit of God shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and godliness shall fill him; the spirit of the fear of God....

According to Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) based on above scriptures, there are 7 gifts of Holy Spirit. They are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude (courage), knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. During baptism a person  receive Holy Spirit and are blessed with these seven gifts.
