4. Fr. Patrick’s Guidance on Going to Confession In Fr. Patrick’s homilies this past weekend he has encouraged us to consider going to Confession here in this Lenten season.

Patrick then offered us a handout that had the seven steps for confession and, also, some guidance on the “Examination of Conscience in the Light of Catholic Social Teaching.” Click on the following button to go to the handout with these two articles.
