Epiphany Home Blessing

Epiphany Home Blessings:

The custom of blessing homes on or near the Epiphany has come down to us from venerable tradition. When blessing our homes we ask God to help us live charity in the place where we spend the majority of our time, and for protection against every harmful spirit. At Mass this weekend you will be able to grab blessed chalk, a bottle of Holy Water, and a prayer handout [PDF] so that you can bless your home.

We especially invite Dads and Grandfathers to take the lead in blessing your home sometime on Sunday evening (If that is not possible, of course others are welcome to do so as well.)
