That happened in your parish? Very shameful. You might want to alert the Bishop in your diocese. I'd be tempted to go to the rectory and drag him by his ear to the confessional booth. I learned that tracik in grade school, first hand, from St. Joseph Mary. LOL.

It is unfortunate, yes. This is two pastors in a row who haven’t been available for Confession much. After a while, of course, people give up and don’t even try - go to another parish, or just don’t go. Then one hears that nobody’s going to Confession!

I make an appointment during office hours sometimes, to take the Horde, but most people work during the day, and their children go to school.
