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 Community Life
Fr. Joseph Alobaidi, O.P.
Posted by Fr. Bruno M. Shah, O.P. on March 29, 2010
This series of informal interviews presents Dominican friars reflecting on distinctive or characteristic aspects of our life.
Fr. Joseph Alobaidi, O.P., speaks about the important challenge of Dominican common life. The Constitutions of the Dominican Order states that, "as with the Apostles, communion among us is also established and made firm in the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit in whom we receive the Word in one faith from God the Father: the Word we contemplate with one heart, praise with one voice, and in whom we share one bread and are formed into one body. In the same Word, we hold everything in common and all of us are committed to the same work of evangelization."
Fr. Alobaidi is a professor of Sacred Scripture at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception (Washington, DC). He is editor of the series, The Bible in History/La Bible dans l'histoire.
