Vita Consecrata Institute

This program of graduate studies centers on various aspects of the theology of the consecrated life, as reflected in the mission and life of the Church. The Vita Consecrata Institute, held each summer, is an intense, yet rewarding, academic program rooted in the documents of the Second Vatican Council, the magisterial teaching of Pope John Paul II, and the rich historic tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. The Vita Consecrata program is designed to be ideal for priests, religious and other consecrated persons wishing to pursue further academic studies, those interested in a brief sabbatical experience, religious in formation, and those preparing for perpetual vows.
