The Blessing of the House opened with Mass on April 3, 2015 with Cardinal Daniel DiNardo as the Celebrant and Fr. Drew Wood, Fr. Roy Ogerro and many other priests as cocelebrants. Deacon Al Bothe, the founder of the Society of St. John DeMatha was present to assist the Cardinal. It was a beautiful morning in the open air chapel on the grounds of the Magnificat House Ministry with Mary Thompson leading in the music. All of the Board members and many of the Members who facilitate the courses of the SSJD attended the Mass and the House Blessing. There were approximately 75 participants for that morning Dedication Mass.
