Guidelines for Home Blessings:

  • If you have time, Father would enjoy spending a few minutes talking to the family and getting to know you.
  • Please no meals or sweets, but something small like nuts, etc. is fine. Coffee, tea, water, and diet sodas are fine.
  • Turn off televisions, music, and cell phones before Father arrive. 
  • Prepare the following items in advance. If you have a dedicated icon corner with a table somewhere central in the house, this is the best place to set these up, but any table in a common area will do. 
    • a Medium-sized bowl
    • Icon of Christ or the Feast
    • a lit candle
    • a branch from a basil, rosemary plant or evergreen plant (used to sprinkle water) 
    • List of the baptismal names of your family members
