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.

Roberto Busa, S.J. (1913-2011)
For most of us who study St. Thomas, the inestimable good rendered by the Index Thomisticus is indisputable. Although the web version is less than 10 years old, Fr. Roberto Busa S.J.'s endeavor began in the early fifties, when he solicited the know-how of IBM to yield a virtually exhausitve word and phrase search from all of St. Thomas's texts!
Having entered the Society in 1933 and been ordained a priest in 1940, Fr. Busa passed away on Tuesday 9 August.
