RECONCILIATION

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (more commonly called Confession)
 takes place on Friday from 5:00  - 6:00 p.m. or by appointment. 
 Upon entering the church, proceed up the center aisle to the altar
 and take a seat in one of the chairs to the left of the altar. 

 The priest will come out of the confessional room
 to let you know when he is free.

 Or contact Fr. Antony directly at avarghese@columbuscatholic.org to set up an appointment.

 To prepare yourself for the Sacrament of Reconciliation,
 you may wish to do an 'Examination of Conscience'.
This link will assist you to prepare for the Sacrament.
