What does the name Catholic Theological Union mean?
A. The name Catholic Theological Union describes the very nature of CTU. In 1968, inspired by the spirit of Vatican II, three men’s orders, the Franciscans, Passionists, and Servites, decided to unite their respective theology schools. To reflect this innovative union of people, resources, and purpose, they called their new school Catholic Theological Union. In time, more religious communities joined the Union, and today there are 25 members. They form the Corporation that governs the school.
