A Century of Service to the Catholic Church
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 highly favorable faculty to student 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.
The Dominican House of Studies is an apostolate of the Dominican Friars, Province of St. Joseph. Located in Washington DC, it houses the Priory of the Immaculate Conception and the Pontifical Theological Faculty of the Immaculate Conception.

Thomistic Circles is a work of the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies, in Washington, D.C. Serving as a forum for the exchange of theological and philosophical ideas, it seeks to consider contemporary cultural and intellectual issues from within the Thomistic tradition. As a work of the faculty, it involves collaboration from a variety of scholars from other institutions as well, and invites the participation of students at the PFIC, as well as outside guests who wish to register. It is a series of events meant to facilitate the development of the Thomistic Institute at the Dominican House of Studies.
