Default Re: Do you have a holy water font in your home?

I know this is an old post but I'll answer anyway. Yes I have a font, I don't have any holy water (I do have Lourdes water).

Here is an image of my font that is in my bedroom.

We bought a beautiful porcelain font right before our youngest was born. I didn't have time to put it up before she arrived and now we can't find it. We've looked several times and it's nowhere to be found. I plan on tearing the house apart tomorrow to try to find it. I'm thinking I need to pray to St. Anthony tonight before I go to sleep to get some extra help finding it. Once we find it, I may get one for each of the bedrooms. For the record, we have a bottle full of holy water waiting for someplace to go.

I do have a holy water font in my home. Mine is just a plain white ceramic one. I think it was meant to be painted but I never did paint it. I am thinking about buying a couple of new ones and getting rid of the one that I have.

Holy Water: a bottle by the front door and a cruet in the Chapel. There use to be a font in the Chapel, but a certain little cat decided that it was her personal water dish

Also a bottle of Holy water is kept from the blessing of the baptismal water during the Great Vigil.

We struck out. We checked everywhere it could possibly have been, as well as numerous places it simply couldn't have been and finally decided we're going to have to buy another.
