Public Lectures

Women in Ministry is open to any interested women students, staff, and faculty. The group meets several times each semester for a simple supper, reflection on the Scriptures, and faith sharing from the particular context of challenges facing women in ministry today. Please join us on Monday, June 10th for our summer session.

CTU has partnered with Catholic Extension to offer education to lay leaders in mission dioceses working in the Church. This is a five-year degree program, which results in a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies.

Courses are completed primarily online, enabling the student to remain in his or her local diocese.

Every summer, Catholics on Call hosts a four-day program at Catholic Theological Union (CTU) in Chicago. This experience is designed for women and men (ages 18 to 30) who may be thinking about a life of service in the Church as a lay minister, religious sister or brother, or priest, and those who are undecided and want guidance in determining how God is calling them.
