St Paul's Theological College (see location map & campus map) is the Catholic member School of the Brisbane College of Theology (BCT), and is thus affiliated with St Francis' Theological College (Anglican) and Trinity Theological College (Uniting). Through this association, St Paul's is able to offer its students fully accredited undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs in Theology, taking in fields such as Biblical studies, systematic and historical theology, philosophy, pastoral ministry, moral theology, liturgy and Christian spirituality within the Catholic tradition.
St Paul's is also closely affiliated with the neighbouring Holy Spirit Seminary of Queensland, Banyo. In addition to the many lay students who enrol through St Paul's each year to undertake BCT courses, are students in priestly and permanent diaconate formation at Holy Spirit Seminary.
In the context of intellectual endeavour appropriate to a tertiary institution, St Paul's seeks to relate Christian theology to the mission of the church, to the academic community, and to wider society.
As a Catholic institution, we enable students to deepen their understanding of the faith within the Catholic tradition; however, as a member of an ecumenical consortium, we provide that Catholic perspective within a thoroughly ecumenical climate, where the perspectives of other Christian churches are examined and respected.
We are sponsored by the five Catholic dioceses of Queensland, Australia: Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, Toowoomba and Brisbane (where we are located).
Our Mission Statement tells you of our vision:
Our Logo captures elements of the teachings of St Paul, the College's patron.
