The Dominican Studium for the Irish Dominicans was established in St. Mary’s Priory in Tallaght in 1935 and transferred to St. Saviour’s in 2000. Over time it has contributed many notable theologians and writers to the Church. Since its beginnings, the Irish Dominican Studium has granted degrees accredited by the Angelicum University in Rome, one of the most prestigious Catholic universities in the Church.
The Studium was established for the priestly training of Dominican brothers but gladly welcomes students for the priesthood from other institutes and dioceses. The education offered is at one with the Dominican tradition of a systematic and coherent theology based on the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. The current staff are as follows:
