Anyone else having difficulty finding a priest to hear Confession?

Five of them are there.

Yet, they are all doing their jobs. It is not somehow wrong to have one day when confessions are only done by appointment.

The movie parish where a priest always is sitting in the Church waiting to hear confessions just does not exist.

Well, every problem has a solution. I cannot imagine this being that common but if no parish within reasonable distance from you will reasonably accommodate your confession on a regular basis, you should call your bishop and ask him to intervene or personally hear your confession.

It doesn’t? I wonder what they must do all day if they don’t sit in the “box”.

I’m being facetious… I know they are all super busy with sick calls, mass prep, spiritual matters, parish matters, etc. I would not want to be a priest. I complain now how many hours I work a week… the poor Fathers work non-stop.

I didn’t say it go to confession after mass. I said, speak to a priest about confession after the mass. Schedule an appointment.

Can you also, please stop insinuating that people that work at the parish are lying to you?

Do you want a solution or do you just want to rant?

No priest hears confessions there on Thursday. Today is Thursday…so no dice.

Yes but you said it was possible you could wait until tomorrow. That is what I was referring to.

I am fortunate that I have several parishes in my area that have priests available.

Perhaps try another parish.
