The Institute of Catholic Theology
Strengthening Christian Discipleship through Intellectual Formation
Enrollments are Way Up!
We went out on a limb and decided to expand beyond one location. This year, we are running four classes simultaneously at four different locations. The response has been tremendous!
This time last year, with only one class, we had 11 students. Now, with four class, four instructors, at four locations, we have 120 registered students taking either Bible in a Year or Catechism in a Year!
We are so glad that you are with us! We look forward to seeing how God continues to grow the Institute’s reach here in the Diocese of Phoenix and beyond!
Registrations for the Fall semester are closed, but please see our upcoming events below. Also, join our mailing list to ensure to be the first to sign up for our 2025 Summer Symposium or Fall 2025 Classes!

Welcome from the Director
Welcome to the Institute of Catholic Theology. It is our pleasure to serve you. Our goal at the Institute is to help strengthen your life in Christ through intellectual formation. In Romans 12:2, St. Paul urges us to “be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Our hope here is that we can assist you in that process. We offer conferences, live courses, online courses and in-person support for those in Franciscan University of Steubenville’s online Masters of Theology and the Masters of Catechetics and Evangelization programs. So whether you are new to the faith or a veteran, we are here to support.
In the meantime, sign up for my Weekly Scripture Reflections, meant to help you prepare for the Sunday Gospels. There’s no charge - just sign up and they will come right to your email!
Dr. Eric J. Westby
Director
