The Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception
The Dominican House of Studies is a Priory of the Province of St.
Joseph of the Order of Preachers. It houses the Pontifical Faculty of
the Immaculate Conception.
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 low
student-to-faculty 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.
