myself, (my wife, my children,) my relatives, whomever may come into this
home, may they relax peacefully and rest.

May our home be filled with peace, harmony
and love forever and ever in the name of our Christ and Savior Jesus!

Hello! I am Bishop Louis Bernhardt of the Anglican Rite Old Catholic Church, Inc.
It would be my honor and pleasure to officate your home or business blessing ceremony.
I have served the Diocese as Auxillary Bishop since 1996. Archbishop William Champion
is the Metropolitan of Texas. If we can help you in any way just let us know. Call me at
832-549-4696 should you like to schedule a blessing ceremony or should you have questions.
For the past ten years I have traveled to many other areas to provide these services. Should you
be in any Texas city or town, or even out of state we can arrange to travel there for our expenses
plus the ceremony fee of $150.00. May God bless and keep you, now and forever. Amen.
