When I was growing up, we also use to have our home blessed once a year in January. However, things were different back then with the parish community more centralized living within walking distance of each other and the church.
A few years ago we moved across country and upon signing up at the local parish I asked about home blessings? The deacon told me that due to the size of the parish (3,000+ families and growing) home blessings were done only ONCE and there was a waiting list – that was 22 months ago and we’re still waiting. I called a few times and was told that they haven’t forgotten about us and that we were still on the list.
