The mission of the Ecclesiastical Faculty of Theology is to foster teaching and research concerning Christian revelation, especially as understood in the Catholic dogmatic and theological tradition. As expressed in the Statuta, the objectives of the Ecclesiastical Faculty are:

(a) to study Christian revelation scientifically and in depth, to relate harmoniously to more recent advances of the human sciences, and to present Christian revelation in a suitable way to contemporary people (Sapientia Christiana 2);

(b) to illustrate Catholic doctrine from divine revelation in such a way that students may understand it clearly, see its relevance to their own lives, and learn to communicate it effectively to others (Sapientia Christiana 66);

(c) to make available to candidates for the priesthood and also to other qualified persons a graduate course of studies in the sacred sciences (Sapientia Christiana 2);

(d) to provide scholarly collaboration with the local and the universal Church, in conjunction with the hierarchy, in the entire task of evangelization (Sapientia Christiana 2); and
