Fr. David Shaw

How long were you working at CC?
This is my tenth year, I started in 2012.

What were your roles while at CC?
I have worked closely with Campus Ministry for those 10 years; I have taught theology and just this year had the opportunity to teach Spanish 1. I was a moderator for the Ping Pong Club for a number of years and for a couple months, until it stopped meeting due to injuries, I was the moderator of an equestrian club!

What is a highlight of your time here?
My highlights have been the opportunity to celebrate masses for Central Catholic, to teach theology, and to have gotten to know the students, faculty, and staff at Central Catholic.

Where are you heading next/what will you be doing?
I am going to be working in a Catholic Parish community of three churches in St. Paul, MN. One of the members of my religious community is moving from St. Paul to Portland and it will benefit the house in St. Paul for me to move there. The place that I will be working at is a community of three churches and a Catholic grade school which is pastored by two priests, with myself filling the place of the assistant pastor.

Anything you would like to add/share with the larger CC community?
I have been very blessed by the people at Central Catholic and, because of the people I have come to know over my time at Central, I have more to offer at the place where I will be serving. I am very grateful for my chance to get to know all of you and will miss you!
