KofC Holy Water bottles
Bishop Mulloy Council bought Holy Water bottles to place in the back of Church with a “compliments of” sign (see attached photo). The pastors like them and they go like hotcakes. I bought them from Autom for 49 cents each packet of 24.

They did pre-sales after Masses the two weeks before and delivered the pork on Super Bowl Sunday.
