Stacy Alan (she/her/hers)

The Rev. Stacy Alan has been the chaplain at Brent House since 2005, having served in parish ministry in Kalamazoo, Michigan before that. She received her college education from the Jesuits at Seattle University and her seminary degree at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. As part of her studies there, she spent a year at Seminario Bíblico Latinoamerican (now Universidad Bíblica Latinamericana) in San José, Costa Rica. After seminary, she worked for five years coordinating the volunteer program at Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, the largest private feeding program in New York City. Stacy has found deep spiritual riches in Ignatian spirituality and has been working on ways to introduce those spiritual practices and concepts to others. In her spare time she knits, watches bad movies with her husband, and plays Latin American protest music. She has two grown children and is married to John Poole, playwright and improv actor.
