Yes, the Catholic Church recognizes a baptism performed by anybody (even, in emergencies, a non-Christian), provided that it was done with water that runs on the forehead, that the baptism is in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that the intention of the person baptizing was in fact to baptize. UCC baptisms meet these standards, as do those of almost all Christian denominations, with the exception of those which baptize "in the Spirit only" or "in Jesus's name".
