The Holy Water Font (stoup)

The holy water fonts are next to the door. They contain water which is blessed by the Priest. When people enter the church they dip their fingers into the holy water and then make the sign of the cross. This reminds them of their baptism, and that they are entering the presence of God in church. When they leave, they do the same, but now it reminds them they are being sent out into the world by Jesus, to bring his love to others.
