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

Hi, guys —
- During Lent, are the receptacles for holy
water drained until Easter?

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.
