Right now we only have one priest. The associate that was sent here last summer has gone to work as a lobbyist in Washington DC. (I have no idea about what's going on with that.)
It was unexpected that he would leave when he did and so now we only have our Monsignor and the retired priest who does the Hispanic service.
In other words, we NEED extra priests for confession. Hope we get a new associate soon. We will probably have to wait until July, though.
