Getting a Rosary Blessed

[landon13]

Hello,

I have two or so rosaries that I need to have blessed by a priest but I do not know when the right time would be to ask him to bless sacramentals.

Can I just hand him the rosary after Mass in the handshake line and ask him to bless it for me? Are there any sacramentals that would take longer to bless than others?

I want to get into the habit of having my rosaries blessed even the ones that I make myself because I haven’t really gotten many blessed.

Thank you so much and God bless!

The last time I had things blessed 2 results happened, the first was a private meeting with my priest and holy water was used as well as a prayer of blessings for items. The 2nd time, with the same priest, I had a bunch of rosaries, etc. and the priest blessed them on the spot. Either way is fine but I enjoyed listening to the specific blessing prayers in the private meeting.

The last rosary I had blessed, I just walked right up to Father, asked him if he would bless it, and he took it from me and said a short prayer on the spot. It’s really no big deal. Just ask. If Father seems swamped with people or very busy at the time, you might want to wait or perhaps find a deacon (they may also bless rosaries).

After Mass works fine for most priests, some prefer after the line of parishioners has thinned out.

Ask your priest?

Depends on the priest, I suppose. Ours are happy to do it after Mass. Shoot him an e-mail if you have doubt.

Hello.

I’ve mailed in the things that need to be blessed with a stamped and self-addressed envelope included so that the priest can bless everything at his leisure and then the sacramentals can be returned to me by mail.
