I plan to go to confession tomorrow, but not at my home parish due to a scheduling conflict and honestly some anxiety I have with confessing to the same priest who sees me on Sundays. I am working on that issue. Do I need to tell the priest during confession that I am from a different parish? Does it matter?
 
You are free to confess to any Catholic priest who has faculties to hear Catholic confessions. You do not have to go to your parish priest and you do not have to mention to a confessor in a different location that you are not a parishioner of his church.
