Return to P.R.I.M.E. list

Because of the growing shortage of canonists and qualified Tribunal staff in the U.S., Canada and elsewhere, on December 15, 2005, the Graduate Theological Foundation formally endorsed the International Institute of Theological and Tribunal Studies, IITTS (formerly International Institute of Tribunal Studies) and the following year elevated it to the P.R.I.M.E. category of relationship thereby allowing for degree requirements to be met completely in Los Angeles. With the endorsement of His Eminence Cardinal Roger Michael Mahony, Archbishop of Los Angeles, Msgr. Charles J. Chaffman serves as a member of the Executive Advisory Counsel and as Director of the Institute. The Cardinal has stated that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles has much to offer the Institute, including facilities, expertise and faculty.

The Director of the International Institute of Theological and Tribunal Studies, IITTS is The Rev. Msgr. Charles J. Chaffman, J.C.D. The Administrator for the Spanish Language Track of this program is Deacon Ricardo Villacorta. Both serve in the Metropolitan Tribunal of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
