Advisor
Tom Reynolds
I have worked for many years in Jesuit higher education, as an administrator in Student Affairs, as a Chief Mission Officer, and as a faculty member. I have seen first-hand how personal experiences of the Spiritual Exercises in their many forms have deepened the understanding of our colleagues about this unique and life-giving tradition in our schools. It’s a gift that we hope to share in many forms going forward.
Ambassador
Barry Neubuger
I have had the privilege of working in the ministry of Jesuit secondary education as a faculty member and administrator for most of my adult life. Through school community relationships blessed with sincere pastoral care, I have experienced and witnessed students and faculty alike, respond to the invitation to deepen their relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ. As partners in the ministry of service, we are here to assist as each of us responds to their personal call from God.
Pilgrimage Coordinator
Chieu Lan Nguyen
It is a delight to combine my passions for Ignatian Spirituality and traveling into organizing pilgrimages for the OIS. I believe being at holy sites and on the road creates a unique space for one to encounter the Lord and others. I am a software manager at a defense company in Southern California and member of the Dong-Hanh Christian Life Community (CLC). I enjoy accompanying others on the Spiritual Exercises and Ignatian retreats.
Web Designer
Conganh Pham
During a Collaborating and Networking trip to Belize in 2021, Fr. Hung and Fr. Pepe recruited me to work on the website that would be tailored to the need of the OIS mission. I have learned much through the work; but best of all is the experience of meeting new people and see God's transformative power.

Pilgrimage Assistant Coordinator
Thanh Tu Nguyen
I am a high school math teacher based in Denver, CO. Living in the Mile High City, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking through the majestic Rocky Mountains. Traveling is one of my greatest passions, and some of my most meaningful travel experiences have been visiting holy sites. From small chapels in mountain towns to grand basilicas across Europe, I find peace in exploring churches and taking time for prayer. For me, being able to encounter Jesus anywhere at anytime transforms a trip into a pilgrimage. This deep passion to traveling with God has led me to serve as a pilgrimage assistant coordinator.
