The foundation
St. Edwin Caudill and the Diocese of the Southwest
Saint George's School of Theology was founded in 1987 by St. Edwin Caudill, Bishop of the Southwest, as the theological school of the Diocese of the Southwest. Based at St. Chad's in San Antonio, it prepared clergy and supported the wider educational mission of the Diocese.
The original school maintained an academic relationship with Wolsey Hall, Oxford. Its records, diplomas, correspondence, seals, and teaching materials form part of the historical collection preserved by the College and the Stephenian Archives.
The institutional and ecclesiastical life of the Diocese of the Southwest is carried forward in the Diocese of Rome-Ruthenia and the United Roman-Ruthenian Church.
Continuation and development
From Saint George to the Pontifical Georgian College
In 2008, the educational work continued under the name Saint George Theological Seminary with renewed programmes, academic records, ecclesiastical oversight, and publishing activity.
In 2014, the institution received the name Pontifical Georgian College as its mission became increasingly international. The new name retained the Saint George inheritance while expressing the College's wider service to the Holy Apostolic See.
The College continues the same formation, scholarship, archival responsibility, and ecclesiastical mission today.
