School’s Comments:
President’s Oath, Mandatum, Theologians’ Oath: The institute is a graduate, theological, pontifical institute (not a university) founded by Pope John Paul II. With its central mission/goal of providing a comprehensive understanding of marriage and family that is faithful to the teaching of Catholic magisterial tradition, any institute faculty member is such only because he or she upholds this and has an expertise in the subject matter taught. All of the institute’s professors have received approval from the local bishop and the Vatican’s Congregation for Catholic Education.
Mass and Confession: An institute Mass is celebrated weekly; the adjacent Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception also offers Masses and confession daily.
Health Services: We offer a student health-insurance plan but no health services (i.e., a student clinic).
