“Year of Mercy” House Blessing Some people have their houses blessed each year. Some are unfamiliar with this practice and have never had their home blessed. Whichever you are, please accept Fr. Bosco’s invitation to have your home blessed during this “Year of Mercy.”
Fr. Bosco is ready to visit every home in the parish during this special year and bring to it the blessings of the Church through the ritual House Blessing. He will begin during Lent. All you need do is call him on his cell phone (734-707-3657) to arrange a day and time.
Two questions you may have: 1) Why? and 2) What is involved? “Why” takes just a little thought. Our homes are where we and our family grow and thrive. If we have children, it is where they learn most of the lessons they will use in their lives. How merciful is our Lord to have the Church bring His protection, comfort, and encouragement through this blessing of our home! “What is involved” is not complicated. After making arrangements with Fr. Bosco for a time when the entire family can be present, simply prepare to welcome him and the blessings he will bring. He will not be coming for dinner (if anything you might offer him a cup of tea). His purpose is to bless your home. Period. He will sprinkle each room with holy water as he prays for God’s peace to be upon your home and in all who live there.
Please consider contacting Fr. Bosco soon to bring this special blessing to your home.
