Related: About this forumCrop duster used to spread holy water
I wish Fathers Karras and Merrin thought of this
A Louisiana church used a crop-duster plane to spread dozens of gallons of holy water on the city of Lafayette and surrounding farms this week.
The Diocese of Lafayette posted a picture on Facebook showing the plane with several members of the St. Anne Church congregation surrounding it in the days before Christmas, preparing to launch the plane loaded with holy water.
They loaded 100 gallons of holy water into the plane and the pilot sprayed the water onto the town and the nearby farms. Parishioners also brought water from home to the airstrip to be blessed, the post read.
The Rev. Matthew Barzare of St. Anne Church told NPR that the plane was an efficient way to cover more ground for a blessing.
