The Reverend Stacy Alan, Chaplain

Stacy was born in the Midwest and raised on both the East and West Coasts. She attended Seattle University, where she earned Bachelors degrees in Humanities and German, graduating summa cum laude and receiving the Matteo Ricci College service award.

After traveling and studying Spanish in Central America, Stacy attended Union Theological Seminary in New York City, graduating with a Masters of Divinity in 1992. She spent a year of her studies at the Seminario Biblico Latinamericano in San Jose, Costa Rica, working closely with Episcopal and Lutheran missions in that city. After graduating, she worked for five years as the Coordinator of Volunteer Programs at Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, the largest private emergency feeding program in New York City. She was ordained to the diaconate and priesthood in the Diocese of New York in 1998.

From 1999 to 2004, Stacy worked as Assistant to the Rector at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she was in charge of coordinating the youth and pastoral care programs. While in Kalamazoo she revived a dormant campus ministry at both Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo College and was involved with the Diocesan Evangelism Committee. She was invited to participate in the strategy group for the Episcopal Church’s 20/20 mission initiative and has been active in GTNG (Gathering the Next Generation).

Stacy has two children. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with her children, knitting, singing sad Irish ballads and Latin American protest songs and dancing to Latin music.

Midnight, Canine Minister

Midnight, a black lab mix, is still a bit young to have free rein in the House, but she’s very affectionate and always loves playing catch (also known as keep away) and being taken for a walk.

Casey, the Wonder Dog (R.I.P.)Casey the Wonder Dog

Casey, a friendly mutt, was our first Canine Minister.  She came to us from Stacy’s aunt and uncle and was known to snore during Stacy’s sermons and make homesick students feel better.  She died on November 2, 2009.
