Catholic AnswerOther than normal use of a cross, or the sign of the cross during Mass and other Church services, the sign of the cross is only spelled out once in the baptismal rite:

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994

1235 The sign of the cross, on the threshold of the celebration, marks with the imprint of Christ the one who is going to belong to him and signifies the grace of the redemption Christ won for us by his cross.
