The Faculty of Theology was incorporated again in Palacký University in October 1990, after a gap of forty years, enforced by the Communist regime. Now it obtained a chance to continue in all the good things that were produced, over several dramatic centuries, by its predecessor, the Theological Faculty – the first among the faculties when Olomouc University was established in 1573.
The Sts Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology regards as its mission to provide a deeper insight in the Catholic beliefs but also to take part in the practical activities resulting from faith, namely work in social, educational and humanitarian areas. The faculty thus not only prepares theologians for priesthood but also offers opportunities for study in B.A., M.A. and doctoral programmes.
