That's a +0 Catch at best, given that it's already a part of the Item of Power discount. Also, an amulet is only a +1 Item of Power discount. Thought that does make the total cost -3, your version would have only a -1. Holy is also debatably a -1 power on it's own...though maybe only in a weapon. GM's call on that.

Have to agree with deadman.  The catch can't be 'it's an item' when you are already getting a discount from the item. The swords of the knights of the faerie get the item discount, and have a catch relating to the sounrce of the power.  Summer is countered by winter, and the reverse.

Yeah that Catch needs some work, since it is already pretty much tied into the power coming with an object of power. Just knocking it down to a +0 Catch and tying it into it being an Item of Power should work just fine.

A question I had though was why it wouldn't work on all Faerie creatures from the Nevernever for it's Exorcism power? I can see a fair number of old Holy Saints putting the fear of God into the Faerie Courts back in the day. The Queens and other powerful Faeries will laugh at your +1 bonus anyway unless you can be very clever in your Ritual. I don't see how having tied himself to a Court could make a Pixie immune to the Saint's magic though.
