Superior Institute of Religious Sciences of St. Thomas Aquinas, Religious sciences institute in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Superior Institute of Religious Sciences of St. Thomas Aquinas is a higher education facility in Kyiv where students study theology, philosophy, and religious sciences. Teaching happens through structured academic programs that draw on both classical and contemporary approaches.
The school started in 1992 as the Catholic Theological College before becoming the Superior Institute of Religious Sciences of St. Thomas Aquinas in 2000. This change reflected the institution's growing focus on broader religious studies alongside theology.
The institute preserves Catholic theological traditions and maintains close ties with Dominican communities in Russia and Ukraine. This connection shapes how teaching approaches faith and what values guide the academic community.
The library holds an extensive collection of religious texts and academic materials that visitors and students can access. The facility welcomes those interested in studying theological and philosophical topics in depth.
The institute houses the Kairos publishing house and the editorial office for Parafialna Gazeta, which distribute religious literature across Ukraine. These publications help spread discussion about matters of faith beyond the academic setting.
