Blessings

From the very beginning, the Church has called down God’s blessing upon her children and upon the world He made. To bless is to ask the Lord to sanctify a person, or to set some object apart for holy use — a sign that every good gift comes from Him and is meant to lead us back to Him.

Fr. Timothy is glad to offer blessings for a wide variety of needs, among them: the blessing of homes (especially during the Christmas and Epiphany season); the blessing of religious articles such as rosaries, crucifixes, medals, icons, and statues; the blessing of vehicles and other objects; blessings for expectant mothers and for the sick; and personal blessings for anyone seeking God’s grace at a particular moment in life.

Requesting a Blessing

To arrange a house blessing, or to have religious articles or other objects blessed, simply contact the parish office or speak with Fr. Timothy after Mass. Once blessed, religious articles become sacramentals: they are treated with reverence and, when worn out, are respectfully burned or buried rather than discarded.
