About Us

The Theotokos Institute for Catholic Studies is an academic institute dedicated to the study and teaching of theology, especially as it proceeds from the centuries prior to the formal division of the Church into Greek East and Latin West, but equally as it applies to our contemporary world.

We use the word 'ecumenical' to refer to the former period, as it reflects our desire to transcend divisions and draw fresh insights from the sources of Christian Tradition.

While it is the primary intention of the Institute to serve Catholics of both the Eastern and Western traditions in Wales and England, we hope that what we offer might be of equal interest to Orthodox Christians and anyone else interested in Patristic Tradition and the Classical inheritance.

The Institute is part of St David's Catholic College

and operates with the blessing of His Grace, the Archbishop of Cardiff.
