Deacon offers holy guidance at supermarket

[1]

An Austrian deacon is making a special offer at his local supermarkets - free spiritual guidance and counseling when you pick up your groceries.

Deacon Willi Holzhammer is touring the Alpine province of Tyrol each Saturday and setting up his service for shoppers.

The retired computer specialist already runs a page on social networking site Facebook where followers can 'Ask Willi' for advice.

"Personal encounters are just another step," Holzhammer said in a press release from Catholic news agency.

His supermarket service will run for five weeks and be held at different towns in the western province.
