OH MY GOODNESS!

Confession Schedule:

Monday & Thursday: 6:20 a.m. – 6:20 p.m.
Friday: 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.
Saturday: 4 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Sunday: 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

That's 30 hours a week!
That's what I call prevailing against the gates of Hell!

Wow, and I thought our lines were long (in a Penance service we had for Advent yesterday)!

(How do you say "patience" in Spanish?)

God bless those priests and those sinners.

Not sure about Spanish but the Italians flail their hands and shout: "pazienza"! ... usually followed by an expletive with yet another hand gesture - no translation necessary ;-)

Thank you for that one! I needed a good laugh! I’m Italian, too and know exactly what you mean: and probably the gestures, as well! : )

I once had a priest friend tell me that if the Confessional were an airplane, I’d be getting frequent flyer miles!

Hi!
If you have trouble finding Confession in your parish, check out any local shrines where you live. Sometimes Confessions are scheduled; sometimes there’s a priest on the premises whom you may ask; you may even be able to call and schedule an appointment. I’ve had to do that where I live, and it worked for me!

Even parish priests will also schedule confessions as well.

My parish this Advent is doing not only the regular parish Saturday time of 3:00PM-3:45PM, but special Advent Tuesdays confessions from 5:30PM-6:30PM. Also by appointment as well.

Also retreat houses/shrines offer confessions.
