BRIAN J. SHANLEY
I AGREE with Mayor David Cicilline when he says that he has a fiscal and moral obligation to find creative solutions for Providence’s budget deficit that do not further burden those who already contribute significantly to the city’s financial well-being.

In Memoriam of The Reverend Philip A. Smith, O.P., the 11th President of Providence College
Said the Rev. Brian J. Shanley, who succeeded Father Smith, “Father Smith ably led Providence College through eleven years of opportunity and growth. Under his guidance, the academic profile of our student body dramatically improved and the campus landscape was transformed.” “I know that Father Smith was particularly gratified to oversee the building of St. Dominic Chapel, a dream that the college had long deferred,” Shanley said. “His legacy is one that we will always treasure and never forget.”
