During the Epiphany season, it is a tradition to have our homes blessed for the coming year and pray that they may be places of peace, joy, and rest. A home blessing is a great time to invite friends and family - especially those who may be looking for a church home. If you'd like your home blessed, please contact the office to schedule a time with Fr. Kevin.
