OUR MISSION

The Saint Antoninus Institute for Catholic Education in Business is dedicated to saving souls in the workplace and marketplace through word, action and prayer.

We promote the social teachings of the Catholic Church in the areas of work, business, management and economics. We serve families, consumers, businesses and business students alike.

We do not believe that "business ethics" is an oxymoron, that one need to use sex or be a crook to succeed in business. On the contrary, we believe that being involved with a business or being a supervisor in an organization can translate into new spiritual opportunities which are the basis of a new apostolate of the world of work. We are also involved with sorting issues relative to God and Mammon.

The Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It is endorsed by the Immaculate Conception Third Order Dominican chapter, Dominican House of Studies, Washington, DC (Dominican Province of St. Joseph).

Jean-François Orsini, TOP, Ph.D., KHS, its founder and president, is the subprior of the aforementioned chapter. In addition to a French graduate business degree from a top school E.S.C.P. , he has earned both an MBA and Ph.D. from the Wharton School. He is also president of the Washington chapter of the Society of Catholic Social Scientists.
