Blessing is an historical community in the southern portion of Black Hawk County, Iowa, United States.

In 1882 a Roman Catholic church was built in Blessing by Fr. O'Brien, resident priest at Eagle Center. The Church was attached to Eagle Center as a mission until 1892, when Fr. Sheehy arrived as a resident pastor.[1] The use of the church as a Roman Catholic parish was discontinued, however Blessing Cemetery remains an active cemetery.[2]
