Aquinas Institute of Theology

For almost a century, Aquinas Institute has been faithful to its mission: educating scholars and molding ministers to serve the Church and preach the gospel, to study theology, and to be part of something greater. It's a place where intellectual growth harmonizes with spiritual enrichment.

Here, at Aquinas Institute, students embark on a transformative journey. Whether just beginning their theological education or seasoned ministers, Aquinas Institute offers the perfect program to guide their path. Our diverse range of offerings ensures that there's something for everyone here. From certificates to master's programs to doctoral studies, Aquinas Institute caters to the diverse needs of both religious and lay students, all united by their dedication to serve the Church.

At Aquinas, we're dedicated to forming Dominican friars and lay ministers who will serve the Church and the world with rigorous academic research and compassionate pastoral care. But the Church needs well-formed ministers now more than ever. The ripple effects of  Aquinas Institute extend far beyond its walls. We empower individuals to be bearers of the good news of Jesus Christ, enriching the Catholic faith wherever they go.

Our mission, our purpose, is clear—to build a culture of collaboration and co-responsibility, uniting lay ministers and Dominican priests and brothers.

But we can't do it alone. To meet the needs of the Church today and enable more women and men to serve Christ and His people, we need your support. By partnering with Aquinas Institute, you can help ensure that our ministers, catechists, administrators, and campus ministers receive the best education and formation.
