    Epiphany House Blessing
    A beautiful Epiphany tradition is the blessing of the home and chalking of the doors. Done on or around the Feast of the Epiphany, it's a great way to start the new year!

    This year, Fr. Matthew Pearson and Fr. Vincent Racanelli will be making visits to people's homes to offer the Epiphany blessing. If you would like them to visit your home, please sign up at the link below.

    • How to Do Your Own Epiphany Blessing

      If you would like to do the home blessing and chalking of the doors yourself, you'll need the Epiphany Blessing prayer sheet and blessed chalk. Churches will often put blessed chalk out on Epiphany Sunday but you can also bring chalk with you and ask the priest to bless it after Mass. 

      The traditional date of Epiphany is January 6. Liturgically, we will celebrate Epiphany on Sunday, January 8 this year. Any day in the weeks around Epiphany will work. 

      It's also nice to bless the rooms of the house with holy water, so be sure to grab a bottle from church if you don't have some at home.
