The Institute for Liturgical Consultants prepares participants to serve as consultants for the building or renovation of places of worship. Those who apply should have a professional background in art, architecture, or liturgy. The Institute is co-sponsored by Catholic Theological Union and the Chicago Archdiocesan Office for Divine Worship and Liturgy Training Publications.

Participants meet for a three-week intensive study during two consecutive summers. The following academic year, after completing the intensive study, they enroll in a program of independent study tailored to meet their individual needs. Institute participants also attend one mid-year conference each year and serve an apprenticeship with a practicing liturgical consultant during their second year in the program. The Institute enrolls a new group of participants every third year (2006, 2009).
