House Blessings

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, WE ARE UNAVAILABLE FOR HOUSE BLESSINGS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

It is customary to perform House Blessings on January 6th – Theophany.

We ask that you prepare by opening shades and lighting all the rooms.

We will be bringing with us:

  • Candle &
  • Holy Water

It is ideal for all family members to be present for the house blessing, but it is not required.

According to Orthodox tradition, holy water has the power to sanctify and heal. Each member of the house should bless themselves with Holy Water during the house blessing.

You may keep the unused holy water in your home for future use in times of adversity, before starting a new venture or trip, to give thanks, or when someone is ill.

Anoint yourself when you feel spiritually afflicted.

Some have asked how much house blessings cost, while we accept donations, we DO NOT charge for any of our services.

If you desire a house blessing on January 6th, please contact us at monastery@stfinain.com or call 915.213.3738 to make an appointment in advance.
