Enrollment in the Tree of Life Educational and Catechetical Centre 

We invite those who seek to deepen their faith and develop in ministry to join us.

Academic Year 2023/24: The Catechetical Center “Tree of Life,” affiliated with the Institute of St. Thomas Aquinas, welcomes prospective students to become part of our student body.

Currently, our students, graduates, and faculty are actively engaged in various forms of ministry. We volunteer and serve the military and their families, catechize, and proclaim the word of God to all those who seek it—not only in regular parishes but also to displaced persons affected by armed conflicts and to those who assist Ukraine in these troubled times.

We come together from all around the world, combining face-to-face, blended, and distance learning in “real-time,” while making efforts to meet wherever possible, fostering a vibrant academic community. We continuously update our curriculum based on over 20 years of experience and recognizing the signs of the times. Together, we seek answers to life’s questions and organize meetings with fascinating individuals.

The Catechetical Center “Tree of Life” offers two specializations:

“Parish Catechetical Ministry and Evangelization” (with foundations in pedagogy and Christian ethics).

“Family Counseling and Marriage and Parenthood Preparation” (with foundations in catechesis for engaged couples, Christian ethics, and family psychology).

The estimated duration of the program is three years. The academic workload is spread throughout the month (on Saturdays or weekday evenings, several days per month), and lectures are recorded. The learning approach combines theoretical knowledge with practice, seminars, debates, educational projects, and group work.

The start of the program is planned for September-October 2023.
