I have trouble imagining how this worked. Where did the fake priest operate? At a nearby church? Or did he visit the workplace and offer his services there? edit: OK, looks like I just missed it. It seems the "priest" did just visit the workplace during work hours. It's super weird.

If your entire workforce is Catholic Mexicans I could see how it would be all too effective. Don't trust hedge priests! (Almost all dioceses will have a list of parishes/priests somewhere, here is Sacramento's: https://www.scd.org/directory https://www.scd.org/directory - if the priest is not listed in an official diocese publication somewhere, and claims to be visiting, he must (in the USA) have a celebret and a letter of good standing; if he cannot produce those be extremely suspicious. Confession is an additional permission that must be listed in writing - https://canonlaw.ninja/?nums=903;937 https://canonlaw.ninja/?nums=903;937 )
