Hi, guys —
This year they took the holy water out of
the church for Lent.
It seems to me, we need all the blessings
we can get.
Good thing I have some at home.
Thanks,
Perry

Perry,
You are right that liturgically the
holy water is not to be removed during
Lent.

Ruth,
They should not be drained. Lent
is a time of spiritual renewal, not
of fasting from spiritual aids.
