The Catholic Church does not 'serve' Holy Water at any time during the year. Holy Water is usually available at the entrance to a church so that a person can bless himself when entering or leaving. After the Eucharistic celebration on Holy Thursday evening, the Holy Water fonts are customarily emptied until the Holy Saturday Vigil Mass with the blessing of the new water.. Also, any adornments throughout the Church are either removed or covered with purple velvet. The Eucharist that was consecrated during the Mass is removed to an altar of reserve, usually apart from the sanctuary. This is a time of solemn mourning and any hint of celebration is removed.

What are the Churches Catholic Church accept their baptism?

All Catholic Church (structure) accepts baptism of any member of the Catholic Church (we, the people are the Church)..Catholic AnswerNot real sure what you're asking. The Catholic Church accepts any baptism done in any other Church as long as it is either done with immersion, or the water is poured on the forehead, along with the words, "I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Ghost)," WITH the intention to do what the Church does when it baptizes. The person doing the baptism does not even have to be baptized themselves. The person pouring the water and saying the words must be the same person. It must be pure water, and it cannot just be sprinkled. It there is any doubt about the intention, the actual running of pure water, or the formula used, then the baptism will need to be repeated conditionally.

Can an Anglican use the holy water within a Catholic Church?

Anglicanism is a very diverse denomination where the range of 'churchmanship' is wide. In most Anglican churches holy water is not used at all, except when water is blessed at baptism services. However, in so-called Anglo-Catholic churches - Anglican churches that have a more Catholic tradition - holy water is used in much the same way as in Roman Catholic churches, although these kinds of churches are now becoming fewer in number.
