The tradition of house blessings facilitates the blessing of our most treasured possession, our home, with the Holy Water of Epiphany, and it enables the priest to visit briefly every home in his community. Please pay careful attention to the directions and schedule. 1. The blessing takes about 5 minutes. The only preparations are a clean home and a piece of paper with the first names of the family members. (A bowl of water is not necessary unless you wish to keep some Holy Water for a later date.) 2. Unless there is a blizzard, the schedule will be kept. If there is a blizzard, the days missed will be rescheduled after all the other blessings days are completed. The rest of the schedule will remain unchanged. 3. Fr. Stephen begins at 1:30 PM and continues through 7:00 pm (sometimes later). If you would like the blessing before or after a certain hour, do not hesitate to call and make a request. He will be as accommodating as possible in this regard. 4. It would be beautiful to have the entire family at home for the blessing. If this is not possible, then one adult should be present. 5. For health reasons, Fr. Stephen cannot eat sweets. If you love him, you will not offer any. 6. If you have made a pledge to SS Constantine & Helen for either 2009 or 2010, you will receive a visit. If you have not done so, please call the church office to confirm. If you prefer to not have your home blessed, call the church office.
