"In a day when many stories about priests are not all that illuminating and edifying, here is a story of a diocesan priest who started with fairly ordinary talents and by the work of the Holy Spirit built them into an extraordinary priestly life.

He has been support and inspiration to many, especially other priests, always far beyond the call of duty, answering the higher call of love, justice, and social concern. "Father Egan-you'll be a better Christian for knowing him, and a better human being after learning of the broad sweep of his humanity. "Jack Egan-a priest for all seasons. May his tribe increase."
-from the Foreword by Theodore Hesburgh, c.s.c., President Emeritus, University of Notre Dame
