Fr. Vincent Duong, SJ

Vincent was born and raised in Vietnam. He and his family migrated to the United States on St. Michael's feast day when he was a teen. Before becoming a Jesuit of the US West province in 2003, he lived in San Diego, California. He was very active in his home parish as a leader of the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement. During his Jesuits formation, especially his theological studies at Regis College in Toronto-Canada, he got an excellent opportunity to journey with young adults in parish and university settings by listening deeply to their sharing and hanging out with them. After his ordination in 2014, Vincent was assigned to the Most Holy Trinity parish, a very diverse and multicultural parish, in San Jose, California as a parochial vicar. During his five years as a parish priest, he enjoyed the church sacramental life, including organizing many liturgical inculturation celebrations. After his tertianship (the pandemic year) in Australia, Vincent is missioned to SU to work in campus ministry. He has been enjoying working with students, especially Catholic students, in a very diverse community here at SU.
