A Century of Service to the Catholic Church

As the Pontifical Theological Faculty of the Immaculate Conception (PFIC) begins a new century of theological education in the heart of the nation's capital, we remain committed  to imparting to our graduate students the capacity for serious scholarship in the Thomistic tradition.  With a small student enrollment and a highly favorable faculty to student ratio, we foster personal formation conducive to preaching, teaching, and pastoral effectiveness. Our students value learning in a house of prayer and the Dominican charism which links study and spirituality.

The Dominican House of Studies is an apostolate of the Dominican Friars, Province of St. Joseph. Located in Washington DC, it houses the Priory of the Immaculate Conception and the Pontifical Theological Faculty of the Immaculate Conception.
