Thanks-I’ll get one next time I’m at the Catholic store-I keep a St Francis one in the house, and a St Jude one and a prayer card in my purse with my rosary-and I need to ask a friend of mine who does business in the valley to go to the shrine of St. Jude there and bring me holy water-I like the holy water from there.
