House Blessing

Dedicate your home to God and invite Christ to remain at the centre of your family life.

A house blessing is a prayer of thanksgiving in which we praise God for the gift of our home and ask for His continued protection, peace, and presence in our family life. It is not intended to "clean" a house. Rather, it is an opportunity to dedicate our home to God and invite Christ to remain at the centre of our household.

Throughout Scripture, God blesses the homes of His people as signs of His providence and care (Genesis 39:5; Ezekiel 44:30). During a house blessing, the priest prays with those gathered and sprinkles holy water throughout the home, asking God's blessings upon the household and all who live there. A house blessing is also a meaningful occasion to gather family and friends in thanksgiving, celebrating the gift of a new home and entrusting it to God's loving care.
