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.

A Homily by Fr. Kevin McGrath, O.P.
Posted by Fr. Bruno M. Shah, O.P. on April 30, 2010
Fr. Kevin McGrath, O.P., subprior of the Dominican House of Studies (Washington, DC), preaches on the feast of our sister, St. Catherine of Siena. Fr. McGrath's homily integrates historical understanding of St. Catherine's time and culture, spiritual attention to her sanctity and doctrine, and insightful regard for contemporary issues surrounding the papacy and priesthood. We are encouraged to live "for the sake of God," and to trust in the ever present work of divine Providence, which is especially present "when the Church is suffering."
