Catholic theology studied, prayed, lived

At ITI Catholic University, theology is not only studied, but lived in prayer, liturgy, and community.

SICUT CERVUS AD FONTES

As a deer longs for sources of water, so my soul longs for you, O God. Ps 42:1

At ITI, the thirst named in the Psalm is met through Catholic theology studied from the sources, lived in prayer and liturgy, and sustained within a deeply personal community ordered to truth and mission.

What makes ITI different

Theology studied from the sources, lived in prayer, and shared in community.

At ITI, Catholic formation has a concrete shape: serious study, daily prayer, and a residential life where students are known by name.

01

Rooted in the Church

Founded by Pope St John Paul II, ITI stands within the living tradition of the Catholic Church, faithful in doctrine and open to the full breadth of East and West.

02

Learning in Depth

Students do not only read about theology. They encounter Scripture, the Fathers, the Doctors of the Church, and St Thomas directly, then bring what they have read into serious seminar conversation. Learning becomes active, personal, and demanding.

03

Lived in Prayer

Roman Holy Mass, Byzantine Catholic Divine Liturgy, sacramental life, and daily prayer are not additions to study. They form the rhythm of the day and teach students to receive theology as something prayed, not only discussed.

04

Shared in Community

ITI is residential, international, and personal. Formation continues around tables, in friendship, family life, shared work, and ordinary campus days. Students are known by name and learn within a community that carries the life of faith together.

05

Study in Austria

In the heart of Europe, ITI offers an English-speaking Catholic education shaped by Austria's beauty, tradition, and closeness to Rome. For many international students, it is a more affordable way to study, pray, and live in a truly Catholic and international community.

Shared in community

ITI is residential, international, and personal. Formation continues in meals, friendship, family life, and ordinary campus days.

Study the primary sources

Students do not only read about theology. They encounter Scripture, the Fathers, the Doctors of the Church, and St Thomas directly, learning to judge with depth and clarity.

Ordered to mission

The study of theology touches vocation, marriage, family, service, and the concrete work each student is called to carry into the Church and the world.
