Ordained, 1983

Notes: Fr. Edgardo (Edgar) Arrunataegui Jimenez is a Peruvian priest that was ordained in Peru before arriving in the Diocese of Orange in 1987. After about four years in the Diocese of Orange, Fr. Jimenez left the Diocese of Orange and went to Peru, reportedly for mission work. He returned to California in 1998, this time working in the Diocese of Fresno. Fr. Jimenez left the Diocese of Fresno in 2002 and is believed to have fled the country. It wasn’t until 2004 that the reason for Fr. Jimenez’s abrupt departure from the Diocese of Orange – allegations of child sexual abuse – was released. Around this time, Fr. Jimenez was recorded as working at a parish in Madrid, Spain. The last record of Fr. Jimenez in Spain was recorded in 2009. In 2017, an investigative news team found Fr. Jimenez working as a hospital chaplain for the Diocese of Chimbote, Peru.
