The purpose of the UC Center for the Study of Religion is to promote and coordinate several activities of research, teaching, and community engagement to provide a better understanding of religion in our culture. From an interdisciplinary academic perspective, the Center aims to know and understand the particularities of religion in Chile and Latin America, thus contributing to a grounded analysis and interpretation of a phenomenon involving both individuals and the society as a whole, and that is a part of our University's identity.

For them, Edith Stain is a figure that particularly inspires academic endeavors. Her thinking allows enlightening different matters in the framework of anthropological and fundamental reflection, from which it is possible to address different topics, for example, the mutual interdependency of people for self-awareness, how specific males and females are, the inside life of a human person, etc.

The Manuel Larraín Theological Center (CTML in Spanish), is a research center that belongs to the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities of the Alberto Hurtado University.

Its mission is to collaborate with the Church at distinguishing the signs of times, establishing a dialogue between faith and culture. The center resorts to theology, several other disciplines, and the devout wisdom of Catholic pastors and intellectuals to recognize the action of God in history.
