Fr. Joseph Carey, interim director of campus ministry, will preside over the ceremony. Fr. Tom Doyle, vice president of Student Affairs, will deliver the homily.
A visitation in Valero's memory will be held today at the Daly Funeral Home, located at 242 McClellan Street in Schenectady, N.Y., from 4 to 7 p.m.
