"And then at Easter and Christmas, the lines are so long that it takes two hours for eight priests to hear all the confessions."
What Catholic church has eight priests these day? Or even two? In fact, in some cases, ONE priest has to shuttle back and forth between two or three churches.

The priests from the other churches in my town come and help. (One of those churches has three priests since it is the largest church in the Archdiocese. -- 11 Masses each weekend)
Also you may not be aware that I live to Mount Angel Monastery and a Carmelite motherhouse too.

Ours has two in residence and three others that come in on weekends, along with three ordained deacons. We have seven scheduled Masses per weekend, and most are well-attended.
