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.
Fr. Valcin will come out of the confessional room to let you know when he is free.
Or contact him directly at frval2@yahoo.com 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 in preparing for the Sacrament.
