Where can I buy holy water?

[Anonymous]

I'd like to get a small quantity of holy water for personal use. I'm not a member of s church and so don't think I can get some for free. I see it on Amazon but wonder which ones are authentic and which I should get. Thank you for your help.

Steal it from the holy water font at the church! Kidding. I assume you are Catholic. Call a church and ask.

I would go to the Basilica. They won’t expect you to be a parishioner because it’s not a pariah. Then gift shop sells containers to fill with Holy Water.

Plus it is nice to see the Basilica.

Seriously? You can buy holy water there??

(The basilica IS nice, and worth a visit, even if pp is pulling your leg)

My Catholic church has a "water cooler" style contraption in the vestibule. Just put a bottle under and fill up.

You can’t buy Holy Water. You can make a donation if you like. At the Basilica you can buy a container in the gift shop or bring your own.

No, they don't sell it. It's free. But they sell little bottles in which to put it.

But if OP feels awkward going to a parish church, a place that is full of tourists and is set up for people to take the Holy Water home might feel more comfortable.

Can you bring your own bottle?

Our parish has a holy water font in the vestibule. Don’t most parishes? (?)

This is actually how we always got it. It wasn't stealing...there was a large silver container of it at the front of the church. You could dip in the bowl at the front of the church for a very small container or use the spigot for a larger container. Now really large containers were questions b/c you know, voodoo.
