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.

Dominican Campus Ministry
Fr. Chris Saliga, O.P.
Posted by Fr. Bruno M. Shah, O.P. on March 21, 2010
This series of informal interviews presents Dominican Friars reflecting on distinctive or characteristic features of our Order.
Fr. Chris Saliga, O.P., discusses his involvement with campus ministry. From its very beginning, the Order was closely associated with the university as a forum for preaching and teaching the Truth. Appropriately, Fr. Saliga discusses some of the campus ministries overseen by the Dominicans of the St. Joseph Province. For the past two years, Fr. Saliga has been the chaplain at Walsh University (Canton, OH), where there have been, since that time, 5 men and women who have either entered or are actively pursuing entry into the Dominican Order. Fr. Saliga notes that most of the Province's other campus ministries are at secular colleges. Especially at these universities, the potential for effective evangelical preaching flows from the contemplative and communal religious life that is characteristic of the Dominican ideal.
In addition to being a popular lecturer in biomedical ethics and the author of scholarly articles in the field, Fr. Saliga collaborates with other Friars to write for the Bioethics Channel of Catholic Exchange, where several of his students have also published timely pieces.
