About Catholic Theological Institute
Catholic Theological Institute (CTI) is a Catholic tertiary institution in Bomana, just outside Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. Its history traces an institutional development beginning with Holy Spirit Regional Seminary in 1963; a recommendation following the 1994 Roman visitation separated academic formation from Holy Spirit Seminary's spiritual formation role. CTI offers certificates, diplomas, an associate degree and bachelor's degrees in philosophy, theology and Christian studies, with all instruction delivered face-to-face. Its students include candidates for Catholic priesthood, religious brothers and sisters, and interested lay students, including non-Catholics. CTI is registered and accredited by DHERST and affiliated with the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, which awards its Bachelor of Sacred Theology. The institute describes a diverse Catholic and Melanesian learning community, an international faculty, a theological library and a quiet setting close to public transport.
