About
Fr. Francis D Alvarez, SJ
Two months after graduating from the Ateneo de Manila University in 1997, Francis Alvarez entered the Society of Jesus. He has since served as a high school teacher for the Ateneos in Manila and Zamboanga, as a chaplain in the Philippine General Hospital, and for too short a time, as a missionary for Jesuit Refugee Service - South Sudan.
While finishing his Ph.D. in Theology and Education in Boston College, he started exploring how the Bible can truly transform us. He now lectures on Scripture, Religious Education, Theology, and Philosophy in Loyola School of Theology and in the Ateneo de Manila University. As a classroom teacher, he considers himself first and foremost as a student. As a professor, he sees himself primarily as a pastor.
