Set in a beautiful villa in the scenic town of Castel Gandolfo, Italy, the Catholic Institute of Technology is a brand new university founded on the vision of integrating cutting-edge scientific research and rapid technological advancement with the wisdom and tradition of the Catholic faith. In the fall of 2024, CatholicTech will open its doors to students seeking to become saints, scientists, scholars, and leaders in their fields.

The mission of the school is to integrate the wisdom of revelation with the truths that are discoverable to human reason, through a curriculum that incorporates the rigors of technical education with a moral and spiritual formation in the Catholic faith. To that end, CatholicTech hopes to form students who will be impactful leaders in their fields of scientific research and innovation, fully aligned with the teachings of the Catholic Church and informed by faith, reason, and virtue.

Fr. Michael Baggot, LC, and Lílian Santos, Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi, both serve on the faculty of Philosophy and Theology for CatholicTech.  Madeline Conover, a Regnum Christi young adult, serves as Director of Admissions.

“The exciting thing about starting an institution like this is that we have the energy of a tech start-up, with lots of room for innovation. For the students, this means they’ll be given the tools they need to succeed, as well as the runway space to be independent and creative, and what they bring to the school will shape the university, too.”
