The Catholic Theological Union, located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, is one of the largest schools of theology in the world and trains men and women for lay and clerical ministry within the Roman Catholic Church. It was founded in 1968, when several religious communities united their separate theology programs to form one school.

The faculty are Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant. The student body is multi-ethnic and international in composition, and graduates of the school minister in a large variety of ways throughout the world.
