A Roman Catholic priest has gone viral after photos of him blessing churchgoers with a water gun filled with holy water emerged.
Father Tim Pelc of Saint Ambrose Roman Catholic Church in Detroit was figuring a safe way to bless parishioners’ Easter food while observing social distancing guidelines.
“I thought, what could I do that would keep the quarantine restrictions going and give kids the experience of Easter?” he told “Today.”
After consulting with a doctor friend to ensure his idea will not put anyone in harm’s way, Fr Pelc donned PPE and grabbed a water gun.
He waited in the parking lot for churchgoers to drive for a squirt of holy water the day before Easter.
“We didn’t have a lot of notice on it. At noon, the Saturday before Easter, I went out there and there was a line of cars waiting,” he added.
Though St Ambrose’s Facebook page posted photos of this sweet stunt during the Easter holidays, the images only went viral last week due to a Photoshop battle on Reddit and a popular Twitter thread.
