History
In 1964, Cardinal Leo Suenens of Belgium spoke at the University of Chicago and urged that seminaries of the future might be urban based, in the context of a great academic center, and ecumenical in spirit. That speech inspired the founding of CTU in 1968, when several religious orders combined their seminary resources, moved to Chicago’s Hyde Park, and began a daring experiment in collaboration.
Education
Impelled by the good news of Jesus Christ, CTU, with its intercultural, ecumenical, and interfaith partners, will be a transformative force in the Church and world for affirming human dignity and the sacredness of God's creation.
