we had extra confession times all last week and this week, as did all surrounding parishes, because there are no confessions from Thursday onward. You can’t get through to our pastor because the switchboard is closed until Tuesday, so good luck, but if you do find him today he will probably be getting ready for the Vigil. A priest is supposed to hear the confession of anyone who asks but buttonholing him as the most important celebration of the year is about to start is really putting him on the spot. Ours would do it if at all possible, but if Mass was beginning, would ask you to come back after Mass, and he would wait for you no matter how late it is. Of course confession would be face to face, unless he has time to open up the confessional, which is doubtful, because there is a table in front of it for the blessing of the Easter bread and foods.
