Father Timothy Pelc thought he would have a little fun on Easter -- and observe social distancing, of course -- by using a plastic squirt gun to dispense holy water on parishioners. They settled on the squirt gun, with the priest -- wearing a mask and gloves -- standing several feet from passing cars as he hit them with holy water. We were prepared to do it one of two ways: either we would distribute little plastic vials of holy water, but then we thought, 'What about a squirt gun?' From a memory to a memeWhile initial coverage of the squirt gun received about 30,000 to 40,000 hits on Facebook, Pelc said, he expected attention to subside. Despite the attention, the squirt gun made its first and last appearance this year.
