Celebrate Sr. Dianne Bergant’s 90th Birthday:

Honor Her Legacy, Empower Future Ministers

A Lifetime of Faith, Scholarship, and Service

This August, the Catholic Theological Union (CTU) community celebrates a monumental milestone: the 90th birthday of Sister Dianne Bergant, CSA.

For decades, Sr. Dianne has been a pillar of CTU, shaping the minds and hearts of countless students as a world-renowned Old Testament scholar, author, professor, and past President of the Catholic Biblical Association of America. Her profound insights into Scripture and her unwavering commitment to justice, ecological theology, and ministry have left an indelible mark on the Church and the world.

To honor her extraordinary life and ensure her visionary work continues, CTU is proud to announce the launch of the Dianne Bergant Scholarship Fund.

The Mission of the Scholarship

The Sr. Dianne Bergant Scholarship will provide vital financial support to the next generation of Church leaders. Your gift will directly empower students pursuing degrees in theology and ministry at CTU, preparing them to go forth and serve God’s people with the same intellectual rigor, compassion, and pastoral heart that Sr. Dianne has always modeled.

“The Word of God is living and effective. By investing in these students, we are ensuring that the Word continues to be preached, lived, and loved in communities across the globe.”
