Here are some parishioners celebrating their home blessings. The mark on their doors with blessed chalk is a reminder of the three wise men Caspar, Melchior, and Baltazar who found Jesus in the Manger 2025 years ago, bringing us to the Year of our Lord (Anno Domini) 2026. If you requested Fr. Morelli to bless your home, he will contact you soon if he hasn't already.
