Vision
The Catholic Theological Institute (CTI) seeks to form well- qualified priests as well as lay faithful for the Catholic Church in Papua New Guinea, with a strong, solid, balanced, and comprehensive philosophical and theological formation.
Mission
CTI of Port Moresby seeks to be a community of faith and learning, in which staff and students co-operate towards a deeper understanding of the Christian message in the cultural context of Papua New Guinea.
In order to realise its mission, CTI dedicates itself to maintaining rigorous standards in the theological sciences, and thereby to advancing the Catholic theological enterprise in a manner which is committed to the encounter between the Gospel and the Melanesian worldview.
As well as equipping Melanesian theologians and promoting theological awareness among all sections of the Christian community, religious and lay, CTI, in keeping with its tradition, is particularly committed to providing a rigorous intellectual formation to candidates for the Catholic priesthood (Pastores Dabo Vobis, 5l).
