Catholic Theological Union is a graduate school of theology and ministry in Chicago and online, educating vowed religious and lay people for varied ministries.
As a product of @ChicagoCTU myself, diversity, dialogue, and interculturality have been hallmarks of the curriculum there from the beginning. I suspect Leo will renew our sense of Mission just as CTU renewed my vision of missionary discipleship.
Mark your calendars! Saturday, June 14 we will celebrate the election of Pope Leo XIV at Rate Field! More details will be announced in the coming week.
Dr. Karen Ross, Director of Pathways@CTU, writes in @NCRonline about the spiritual work of racial justice and why it matters for ministry. Dr. Ross and Dr. @CVanessaWhite led a new racial justice pilgrimage course for graduate students this past May.
