Pastoral Institute Redemptor Hominis

The Pontifical Pastoral Institute “Redemptor Hominis” trains and specializes students in pastoral theology: both in its fundamental themes (identity and method) and in relation to some specific areas of ecclesial activity. In particular, it prepares future teachers for teaching in seminaries and theological institutes as well as pastoral workers who are experts in the various fields of ecclesial life. In view of a missionary renewal of the Church, the Institute pays particular attention to the themes of the Social doctrine of the Church, the pastoral and health care; and the dialogue between theology, social and human sciences.

It is possible to obtain a Licentiate degree at the Pastoral Institute (two years) and a Doctorate degree (three years) in Pastoral Theology by specializing in four different areas:

1. Ecclesial and evangelization community
2. Education and Communication
3. Pastoral theology of care and health
4. Social doctrine of the Church
