An Hoang Vu, SJ

An Hoang Vu, SJ was born and raised in Vietnam. He immigrated to the U.S. with his family when he was about 18 years old. Having two identities as well as two places to call “home,” his mind and heart have been captured by the fullness of life in each place. Eventually, An became attracted to the beauty of different spiritualities around the world. He practices Zen meditation, and it has enriched his life and vocation as a Jesuit. He is currently studying Christian Spirituality at Fordham University, hoping to dwell deeper in the secret and sacredness of life that flows through each and every being in this world.
