Thomas Reese, S.J. writes: "Although we both became Jesuits, Eddie and I were very different. He was an extrovert who made friends easily. I find social interaction exhausting; I would rather read a book. Ministry forced me to be more extroverted; for Eddie it came naturally."

First there was Eddie. Then came Roger, followed by Ginger. They were a merry trio on campus.

Several colleagues and friends who worked with Fr. Reese over the decades eulogized him: Richard Cobb, S.J., Adria Renke, and Joe Vollert ’84.

Every year, the St. Ignatius Alumni Department honors two Wildcats who have selflessly served the school and our alumni community. Last June, we were happy to name Kelly Turbin ’00 and Kathryn Gianaras ’06 as the two recipients of the 2025 Alumni of the Year Award.

The gift will help ensure that more middle school students have the chance to receive a tuition-free Jesuit education.

In May 2025, members of the SI community came together for our Loyalty Luncheon, held at the St. Francis Yacht Club, where attendees enjoyed stunning views of the San Francisco Bay. The event celebrated two groups whose ongoing support has made a lasting impact on SI: the Fr. Harry Carlin Heritage Society and Lifetime Members of the 1855 Loyalty Society.
