I am a Protestant and I was wondering if a priest would come to my home to bless it. I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately but I’m not sure how to go about it.Thanks for your help.
 
He certainly might, if he can manage it in his schedule. It can’t hurt to ask. If you know him, just ask him. Otherwise try calling the parish office. Good luck!
 
We recently had our house blessed. I would just call and ask. I don’t think it matters if you are Catholic, or not. But I am sure, that you will need to make a special appointment for the blessing. It’s a wonderful experience.

Father first prayed with us (we were asked to join in the prayers and readings for blessing of a home) and then, wearing a special “stole” he went from room to room with holy water, and blessed the entire house.

I slept so peacefully that night. 🙂
 
Welcome to CAF, athenaluvsdoves.

Yeah, like others said that you should ask and make an appointment for it. When I moved to my current apartment, I called the deacon instead of priest (the two priests were very busy with his schedule). The deacon blessed all the rooms with prayers.

I also keep a bottle of the Holy Water which I got from my parish and bless the house and myself at night when going to sleep.
 
Thanks everyone for helping me with this.I’ll have to find a church nearby and ask.:blessyou:
 
Hello, Water.I still have to decide on a church where I can ask.I’m not sure where to go yet. I’ll let you know what happens though. Thanks for asking!🙂

You can get many prayers for protection of you home at the above site.

May I ask a personal question, since we are on a spirituality forum here…

why? what about a Catholic Priest’s blessing of your home will bring your comfort? I am curious…

Me thinks the Holy Spirit is working in you … maybe working toward getting you to come HOME!!! 😃
 
DJgang, I’m not sure why I have this idea to have a Priest come and bless my home. I don’t know anyone else who would or could do this.I feel like there’s a sense of disorder or chaos in my home and maybe a blessing would make it stop.
 
well i hope this is God calling you to come home to the Catholic church…i hope you get a priest and may God bless you abundently
 
Thank you Sancte Joseph. I really appreciate your kind words. I am ready to take RCIA classes this Sept. and have been attending a Catholic Church for about 2 months now.

:heaven:
