Yes, definitely! There isn't really a strict set amount on how many times you bless yourself with the holy water.
You take it to a Catholic Church and have a priest bless it with the strongest Holy water they have.
No you actually only have to go to classes and study the Catholic Church teachings at the church that you want to become Catholic. The only thing you might have to buy is a Catholic book that they might recommend, but other then that it is completely free to become a catholic . God Bless

I'm not familiar with the standing of a Ukrainian Catholic Church in relationship to the Roman Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church, which it may be, is currently in a 'schism' with the Church in Rome. This word, schism, is important. Any such church simply means that the Roman Catholic Church does not consider them preaching the same set of truths. When a Roman Catholic individual marries, they have a moral obligation to be married in the Catholic church. Thus, they should be married by a Roman Catholic priest who is in union with the Church. However, as you might have heard, exceptions can be granted. The best advice is really one that your pastor will answer. I urge you to pay him a visit and discuss this important topic. God bless you!
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, anyone can "bless" someone or something, but no, not an official Church blessing, for blessings from the Ritual, or official blessings at Mass, for instance, you need an ordained member of the clergy.
No, only a priest or deacon can bless anything.

The fonts hold Holy Water so that congregants can bless and exorcise themselves as they enter church for Mass. Some Catholic Churches may also have their baptismal font in the back of the church. However, most churches today have the font in the front of the church.
Well there are different types of Catholic Church such as the Ukcranian Catholic Church it is different such as they dipp the Body of Christ into the Blood of Christ and you are to receive it in the mouth from a golden spoon. Also the priests are allowed to be married. Although I believe that is wrong to be married and be a priest that is the way they do it. But although they are still under the ruling of the Holiness Pope Benedict the 16th. :-] hope this answers! God Bless!Anglican Catholic Answer!There are many Catholic Churches that are not in Communion with the Roman Catholic Church!.The Polish National Catholic Church for one, as well the Utrecht Old Catholic Church. There are also the Churches we know as Orthodox and some might say the Oriental Orthodox Churches as well. There are the original Continuing Anglican Churches . These are the ones I know of there might be more!Another Catholic Answer,Their are only two true Churches, the Eastern Orthodox, and the Roman Catholic Church, regardless of what they call themselves, if they are not among those two, they lack valid apostolic succession.
you have to be a priest or one of religious importance to do so, but they say prayers over the water and they believe that god himself blesses it.
Yes, all Catholic priests of any order can consecrate (it is not called "to bless") bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ
