How does that work? "Sorry this church is closed on Sunday, we hold mass on Monday instead because our priest is shared with a bigger church."?

Could also do a 9AM mass at one church, a (9AM + mass duration + travel time + 30 minutes) mass at another, and so on
I spoke to a priest doing this when a family member passed. He'd perform the early Sunday service in town, then drive 1.5h to the next valley over and do a service there, then drive 45m to a third church before returning to the first for meetings and elderly care visits. Worse, each of these churches had different sermon schedules so he was preparing sermons customized to each on top of his other duties.
