This page keeps sealed holy water bottles from St. Peter's Basilica, bottles blessed during the pontificate of Pope Francis. They are historic bottles, kept for Catholics who loved him and for collectors. They are not our current holy water.
There is an everyday bottle, a bottle prepared for prayer for the sick, and a Jubilee bottle from the Holy Year that Pope Francis opened on Christmas Eve 2024. There is also a Jubilee 2025 bottle whose label names both Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV, a link between two pontificates.
Many people keep one of these bottles unopened as a memorial of Pope Francis, or give it to a family member who followed him closely. Each blessed item ships with a holy card of the Papal blessing. For our current holy water, see holy water blessed by Pope Leo XIV, or browse our full range of holy water, oil and salt.
