I might offer a third bit of advice.
3. Mortify thyself. Fast, give alms, and pray so that the Sacrament of Confession might actually be made available.
(empty confessionals at announced times, handwritten signs that no confessions at all at the parish this week or the next, diocesan policy against confessions at more than one parish in a newly formed cluster, confessions only heard during regular work hours of rich people, confessions only heard during working hours of the regular working folk)
Fr. Z.
Loved your quarter’s worth (2 bits) of advise.
Worth of
1 bit = The Kingdom of God
“GO TO CONFESSION”
And if you don’t feel like it’s appropriate to eat (that is, not fast) before Mass even if you’re not taking Communion, remember that you can fast because you feel it’s appropriate/helpful (as long as you’re not starving yourself in the process or anything — consult your spiritual advisor if in doubt) even if it’s not required. Just don’t be surprised if anybody else decides differently since it’s not a requirement. 8^)

James Joseph makes an excellent point. I live in Helena, MT. The only confessions in our town on Saturday are at the Cathedral on Saturday morning, so that’s where I go. Two of the other parishes in/near Helena have confessions during what are working hours for most people with day jobs, and one has confessions at 5:30 on Wednesday evening (right after work for most). “Or by appointment” in all parishes, if you don’t mind telling the office manager you need to go to confession and have her call you back with a time.
Okay, we have a severe priest shortage up here in the frozen North, but it still seems that people who are not housewives or retirees could use some options.
