Asking for a hug from a Catholic priest could be awkward, to say the least.

I think you're putting limitations on yourself. A Catholic priest seems to me a very good choice to ask for a hug. He would be "safe" and understanding. I'm sure you wouldn't be the first nor the last to ask for a much needed, platonic hug.
I've also gone for years with little or no human touch. I have a cat and granted they aren't as loving as a dog, but don't forget the "animal therapy" that people receive in convalescent homes. It's for a good reason. Maybe I'm different, or I should say, my cat is different because he always comes when I call him. Sometimes he jumps up on my lap but not always. I just bend over and pet or scratch him when he won't jump up on me or lay next to me. Even my birds satisfy that need for touch and they'd rather I didn't hold them. LOL
Take a good look at how you think so that you don't impose more hardships on yourself than needed.
