A font in this church is listed and illustrated in BALaT KIK-IRPA [http://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10084690] [accessed 13 November 2022] as made of marble between 1791 and 1800; it consists of a moulded square basin on a quadragular bedestal base. Another font, also modern, is described and illustrated by Patrick Germain (2007) [https://www.mediardenne.net/leglise-sainte-catherine-a-houffalize/] [accessed 13 November 2022]: "La cuve des fonts baptismaux, à l’instar du bénitier et de la fontaine de la sacristie, est en marbre rouge de Rochefort. Elle proviendrait de la chapelle de l’ancien château de Houffalize, où des fonts avaient été placés, en 1590, à cause de l’éloignement de l’église paroissiale et de l’insécurité régnant alors." [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
