“A place of learning, right here in the heart of Antananarivo?” you might wonder. Indeed, this is the Faculte de Theologie. It has a rich and fascinating history, intricately woven with the Catholic Church in Madagascar. The Faculte de Theologie actually started its journey as an institute within the Major Seminary of Antananarivo. This was back in 1960. It was then known as the Higher Institute of Theology and Philosophy of Madagascar. Over the years, the Faculte de Theologie underwent several transformations and name changes. It grew from an institute within a seminary to a fully accredited university by the year 2000. In 2011, it finally adopted its present name, standing as a testament to its evolving role in Madagascar’s educational landscape. Today, the Faculte de Theologie stands as the only university affiliated with the Catholic Church in Madagascar. This makes it a unique institution. It serves as a beacon of theological learning and spiritual guidance for aspiring religious scholars and laypeople alike.
