Growing up, the Friday before Easter I went my folks who would take a basket of ham, bread, hard boiled eggs, butter, and other goodies to their church and have our parish priest bless 
the stuff in the basket. We then ate some of those things on Easter Sunday.
Another thing I remember, was on January 1st, or 2nd, my folks would have our parish priest come over to our house, and bless the entry way by marking a chalk cross on the door jam, and then walk through the house sprinkling holy water in all the rooms to drive out devil spirits!
They gave him a donation for his blessings efforts.
When I got older, I was not involved with that any longer.
