John Joseph "Jack" Egan (9 October 1916 – 19 May 2001) was an American Catholic priest and social activist.
[1] One Egan's accomplishments of the early seventies was to deliver about 25 non-episcopal leaders of the Catholic Church in the country to a PADRES-sponsored meeting held at the Mexican American Cultural Center (now called the Mexican American Catholic College) in San Antonio, Texas.
The focus of the meeting was to garner greater recognition and respect for the "Hispanic Agenda" within the institutions of the Catholic Church in the United States.
John Joseph Egan figures prominently in the 2009 book Family Properties: Race, Real Estate, and the Exploitation of Black Urban America by Beryl Satter.
[3] The Monsignor John J. Egan Office of Urban Education and Community Partnerships, at DePaul University, is named in his honor.
