Thursday, May 24 was the day of a special homestead blessing in remote Pinetop, AZ.
Adam and Deepa Hague welcomed Fr. John to their homestead for a blessing of the home, confession, and communion. The beautiful setting was idyllic! Gardens, ponds, grottos, goat pens, trampolines, containers, vehicles, appliances, and a hand-built home – everything needed for a functioning, off-grid homestead was blessed, and then some.
“Lots of questions from the children about Church, the priesthood, and even my own family! Truly, I felt welcomed as an honored guest as soon as I arrived,” said Fr. John.
Enjoy this little photo gallery of our visit. We’ll be visiting again in July!
