Catholic Theological Union at 50: educating church ministers since the Second Vatican Council
When Catholic Theological Union opened its doors in Hyde Park in 1968, the world — and the church — looked quite a bit different than they do now. It’s no wonder that the graduate school of theology founded after the Second Vatican Council also has undergone a series of transformations.
Catholic Theological Union bought the former Aragon Hotel, 5401 S. Cornell Ave., in 1967 to be its urban campus. Classes were held in the neighboring Sinai Temple school building. (Photo provided)
