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.

Fr. Basil Cole, O.P.
Posted by Fr. Bruno M. Shah, O.P. on February 08, 2010
This series of informal interviews presents Dominican Friars reflecting on distinctive or characteristic features of our life.
In the video above, Fr. Basil Cole, O.P., reflects on special characteristics of the Dominican confessor: his optimism, his trust in God's mercy, and his study of the spiritual life. Fr. Cole is a Professor of Moral Theology at the Dominican House of Studies (Washington, D.C.). He has also taught at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, the "Angelicum" (Rome). He is a popular mission and retreat director, and is the author of numerous articles. Along with other Friars of this province, Fr. Cole regularly contributes articles to an online bioethics column. His most recent book is The Hidden Enemies of the Priesthood: The Contribution of St. Thomas Aquinas.
