Neighborhood House Blessing
Arrange for a priest or deacon to bless houses in a neighborhood. Gather all neighbors at a parishioner's house and begin the evening with a brief prayer. Priest or deacon travels from house to house blessing each of the homes. (This is a great shallow-entry event for non-Catholics; all neighbors can be encouraged to attend.) Conclude the evening with hospitality to build fellowship in the neighborhood.
