I don't know his name but was informed he was an "ex-diocesan" priest and was going to offer Confession to the faithful.

No word if he was conditionally ordained. I think most everyone stayed in line for the SSPX priest, but I am sure many of those who came from the N.O. had no problem going to him.

Are you talking about the SSPX chapel near Charlotte, North Carolina? If so, that was most likely Fr Horvath, though I did not attend on that Thursday. He received conditional ordination because he requested it personally when he joined the SSPX over a decade ago, based on what people here have told me. I've gone to confession with him before.

That's incredible! I've been impressed with him every time he's visited the chapel that I go to. His sermons are always thought-provoking and are always applicable to our spiritual life (I especially loved the time where he reminded us at the beginning of a sermon on confession etiquette). Thank God that he escaped the Novus Ordo and became conditionally ordained!

I agree, I wish op provided more information. When they said Charlotte, the only Charlotte I could think of is Charlotte North Carolina, which only has one SSPX chapel (there's also a Mass site for the SSPXMC with Fr Hewko, but I haven't ever gone there). Fr Horvath is the only former Novus Ordo priest that I know of that comes to St Anthony's in Charlotte in my time going there (which, admittedly, hasn't been long), and I don't think he was there at any point during Holy Week. I attended on Good Friday and the Easter vigil, and Fr Bourbeau offered the Mass and handled confessions both days. There's generally only one priest at the chapel handling everything each week, but there was a time a few months ago where Fr Post accompanied Fr Bourbeau solely to hear confessions. It really showed the need for a second priest at our rapidly growing chapel because the line for confession was full from an hour before Mass all the way to the end of Mass!

I can always ask one of the other regular parishioners tomorrow after Mass if there was a different priest on Maundy Thursday for confessions.

The schola director talked to the non SSPX priest after the Maundy Thursday liturgy. He should know.
