Welcome to the official website of the Dominican Aquinas Pontifical Faculty of Theology. We stand as a beacon of intellectual and spiritual formation in West Africa, continuing the eight-century tradition of Dominican theological excellence. As an ecclesiastical faculty, we offer canonical degree programs that form priests, religious, and laity for service to the Church and society.

Mission Statement

"Rooted in the Dominican tradition and fidelity to the Magisterium, the Dominican Aquinas Pontifical Faculty of Theology forms priests, religious, and laity through integrated philosophical and theological education, advances sacred theology by engaging both Thomistic thought and contemporary African contexts, and witnesses to the harmony of faith and reason - ultimately equipping educators, missionaries, and leaders to proclaim Christ to a changing world."

Vision

"To be a beacon of theological excellence in the spirit of St. Thomas Aquinas, forming scholars, priests, and leaders who illuminate the Gospel with intellectual rigor, pastoral wisdom, and a commitment to the Truth (Veritas) that sets humanity free."

Dominican Aquinas Faculty of Theology is a pontifical institution serving the universal Church with a special focus on West Africa. The Faculty operates under the authority of the Holy See, with the Dominican Order overseeing its academic and spiritual mission. The Prior Provincial acts in the name of the Order when the governing council is not convened.
