Catholic Theological Union

Catholic Theological Union in Chicago is the largest Catholic school of theology
and ministry in the United States. Through our graduate degree programs and other educational and formational opportunities, we strive to educate effective leaders for the church – people of different races, genders, and callings whose mission is to witness Christ's good news of justice, love, and peace to people of all nations.

Our faculty are leading scholars and skilled teachers who care deeply about their students. Our students are women and men from all over the world, from all walks of life, who are pursuing truth, and in the process, coming to see faith in a new way. We believe that a vision of church that recognizes the essentially diverse and inclusive nature of Christian community is essential to the gospel and important for the well-being of the human family so often prone to divisions and violence. We also believe it is a vision of church that can excite young Christians and show the church and its mission at its best.

With our world-renowned faculty, CTU is training over 500 women and men for service in the church and to the world. Our 3,200 alumnae/i serve in schools, parishes, prisons, hospices, and social services throughout the United States and in 65 countries worldwide.
