Henry Eagar was ordained with the Class of the Joyful Servants in the Diocese of Orange in 2013. He grew up in a blue collar neighborhood in Los Angeles. His parents worked very hard to put him through Catholic School for both grade school and high school, graduating from Daniel Murphy in 1971. He met his wife, Donna at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles where he received his Business Degree.
Henry was a business banker for over 40 years before retiring in 2017. He was very fortunate to spend the last 15 years of his career at Citizens Business Bank where management was very supportive of his formative years of the Diaconate. The bank invited him numerous times to do the opening prayers at their Corporate Christmas parties, once he was ordained.
He has a son who lives in the area and a daughter who lives in San Jose with her husband and their two children.
Henry loves working on model trains. Donna and Henry also love to travel and have made pilgrimages to Italy, France, Greece, Turkey and the Holy land. He and Donna both love serving their family and parish community.
