COME STUDY WITH US AT CATHOLIC THEOLOGICAL UNIONSummers at CTU offer you the opportunity to step back in order to step up your response to God’s call in your life.

We invite you to take courses or workshops from CTU’s renowned faculty, visiting professors and facilitators. Attend daily mass, participate in formation activities or spend time reflecting in our meditation chapel. Our panel discussions and public lectures will address current issues in theology and ministry and plant the seeds of renewal. Enjoy walks or bike rides by Lake Michigan, take in the restaurants and social life of Hyde Park, or sit in the atrium and experience the wisdom of others while you share your own.

Join us for group outings to Chicago’s world-class museums, music venues, theaters, professional sports teams, outdoor festivals, and architecture tours. CTU’s location is a short walk from several CTA bus and Metra line train stops. Come retreat, study, reflect and rejuvenate your ministry at Catholic Theological Union. Craft your summer at CTU today!

REFRAMING RETIREMENT FOR MISSION: Sharing wisdom and seeking meaningful ministry after retirement

JUNE 7- JULY 5Mini Sabbatical

Retirement need not mean withdrawal from meaningful work on behalf of Christ’s mission and ministry, but it does require a realistic, necessary and creative adjustment in how to continue to respond faithfully to the call to bring Christ to others and to our world.

This program is for men and women religious and diocesan priests who are retired or are contemplating retirement in the near future. It intends to assist the participants in making the difficult transition from a fully active ministry to retirement, with a special focus on recognizing and living their retirement years as a fruitful period of life with possibilities for personal growth as well as new opportunities for engaging in ministry.
