troops regrouped. While there, he entered an unspecified Catholic church and felt "the impulse, or rather inspiration, to become a Catholic." On October 19, 1862, Revere was baptized at the Baltimore Basilica in Maryland by Reverend H. B. Coskery. This was followed by Revere's first Holy Communion on October 26 of that year. Years later, Archbishop Bayley (possibly James Roosevelt Bayley) confirmed Revere in Morristown's Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary parish. He created a painting for the parish: the "Espousals of the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph," which as of 2012 continues to be on display in Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church. In December 1862, in the Battle of Fredericksburg, he led a brigade but saw little action. He was later named to command the Excelsior Brigade.

Gen. Hiram Berry was mortally wounded after charging the Confederate line. Next in seniority was General Mott, who was severely wounded; therefore, Revere assumed command of the group. As the battle lacked a clear front line, Revere commanded his troops (the Army of the Potomac) to reform at a point set by compass. This three-mile march, described by Revere as a "regrouping effort" and not a retreat, led to his being court-martialed as ordered by General Joseph Hooker. Revere claims he was censured for "cowardice on the field," a claim which makes him smile due to its "flagrant vindictiveness." From Revere's perspective, he writes,I heard...of the death of General Berry, my division commander, who was killed at about half-past seven o'clock; and immediately afterwards I met Brigadier-General Mott, the next in seniority in the division, going to the rear, severely wounded.
