San Diego diocese head of liturgy to join Latin Mass order

Father Eggleston from the 2003 diocese directory

The following comes from an Aug. 15 email sent by a Cal Catholic reader.






“Just got the news from a reputable source (a priest who works in the
diocese) that Fr. Earl Eggleston from the diocese of San Diego is going
to be leaving the diocese and joining the Priestly Fraternity of St.
Peter (FSSP). He’s such an awesome pastor, helped me greatly in my life,
especially in the Sacrament of Confession.”


Father Eggleston is listed on the San Diego diocese website as the
director of Liturgy and Spirituality for the diocese. He has served in
recent years as pastor at Our Lady Angels in Golden Hill and is
currently in residence at St. Joseph Cathedral in downtown San Diego.


Father Eggleston did not return phone calls placed to him at the
diocese, but according to a reliable source, even the local FSSP priests
were surprised by Father Eggleston’s decision.
