My hubby brought it to the attention of another parishioner who was using them, since eggs are on the do not eat during this time period list, and the look on her face. She was incredulous.

Egg Beaters and similar products are eggs that don't contain yolk (and sometimes contain stuff to make them seem like they do.)
There are plenty of vegan egg substitutes that don't contain eggs, although they're usually more for baking. "Flax eggs" are just ground flaxseeds mixed with water. You wouldn't want to try to eat them as though they were scrambled eggs, but they're popular for adding moisture to vegan baked goods.
Really, you can get a vegetarian version of almost anything. Think Tofurkey. :P
