Fr. Bruno M. Shah, O.P.
Fr. Shah was clothed in the Dominican habit in 2003 and ordained to the priesthood in 2009. His earlier studies were in religion, philosophy, and education. He is an adult convert. Before entering the Order, he worked for a high school run by the (French) Christian Brothers on the Lower East-Side, NY, NY; he taught in the Literature and Religion departments for three years. It was during this time that he discerned his call to an active, priestly ministry, focused on doctrinal preaching, and necessarily flowing from contemplative study and communal religious observance.

Posted by Fr. Bruno M. Shah, O.P. on July 12, 2010
This past week, the Gospel readings from Sts. Luke and Matthew have recounted Christ's own prayer for vocations: "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest" (Matt 9.37-38, Lk 10.2). Our province is grateful above all to God, the master of the harvest, for the recent abundance in vocations. We are thankful to Fr. Bill Garrott,… » More

Penance and Anointing (Keller)
Dominicans are known - reasonably enough - for their preaching. However, as I've passed through various parishes and ministries staffed by our province, it's been made clear to me that we're generally appreciated as good and merciful confessors as well. This makes perfect sense. Founded to preach for the salvation of souls, our order performs some of its most significant "preaching" in what is called… » More
