The Institute supports the search for and the dissemination of knowledge about the intellectual traditions of the Catholic Church, including theology, history, spirituality, ethics and the research of a wide range of academic disciplines. Research projects in these thematic areas connect these sources of wisdom to current trends, challenges, and possibilities for the Catholic Church and our society.
A number of colloquia hosted by the Institute have recently been published, dealing with issues of interreligious dialogue, the intergenerational transmission of faith, the relationship of technology to Catholic social teaching, economics and globalization, and the challenges Catholic religious authority faces today.

The Generations in Dialogue (GID) program began in the spring of 2010 with two goals in mind. The first is to prepare the next generation of junior scholars in a range of disciplines to be publicly-oriented in research that engages the intellectual traditions of Catholicism. The second is to create an inter-generational scholarly community that generates a sustained reflection on faith and scholarship. In this regard, the GID is a small but potent symbol of the eventual residential goal of the Institute.
