Spiritual guidance with groceries

“Would you like spiritual guidance with that?”

The frequent value-add phrase from fast food outlets has been given a twist by Austrian deacon Willi Holzhammer who is making a special offer at his local supermarkets — free spiritual guidance and counselling when you pick up your groceries.

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 Kathpress.

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