That Christmas Present ! by Fr. OK

Remember when I mentioned that the parish would be getting a Christmas present? Well, they arrived just before Christmas and were placed on special tile squares on either side of the Main Holy Water Font--near the Reconciliaton Room and near the Ambry (where the Holy Oils are kept).

What are they? They are the Holy Water Fonts from the Old church. Through the kindness of Kevin Bloemker of Marble and Granite Interiors they were cleaned, polished and remounted (they are in two or three parts and needed to be caulked and reset to eliminate the wiggle between the parts).

I wonder how many peoploe noticed them or just took them for granted as they entered the Church this Christmas? We had four ceramic tiles placed in the floor to give added emphasis to these fonts and tie them into the main font. That was the only cost to the parish.
