Why People Love the ITI

		At ITI I discovered something about the roots of the world and how to build on them. I learned how to think clearly and to explain well. I experienced what real friendship meant and how it could last. Dr. Gudrun Kugler-Lang, MTS, (Austria, 1999 Graduate) Director of World Youth Alliance - Europe (2001-2004). Co-Founder of Vienna-based consulting company Kairos.

		Everywhere I go, I see that the foundations that I received in Gaming are solid and very useful for my studies and the work that needs to be done in the Church. Piotr Drag, (Poland, 2003 Graduate). Lecturer at the Political Religion Conference at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, 2004. On scholarship for academic research at Cambridge (‘03/’04) and Oxford (‘04/’07).

		ITI’s method of study changes a person. You really have to think, you have to articulate your thoughts. You deal with the problems in the text, you make them your own, and you try to find your way through them. It is imprinted on you forever. Josipa Gasparic (Croatia, 2000 Graduate). Pursuing a doctorate at the Angelicum, Rome, Italy.

		There are three major points at ITI which form the students: the richness of the spiritual life, the depth of the intellectual life, and the community life which is the living witness of the true Christian Family. Fr. Yuriy Kolosa, (Ukraine, Graduate 2001 and 2007 with Licentiate Degree). Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Commission for Marriage and the Family in the Lviv Archdiocese (2002-2004).

		ITI means so much to me. It was a place where I was formed as a conscious Catholic. When I came back to Lithuania, I was a different person. This formation has not finished, for I am still learning, but in Gaming I received the fundamentals. Inese Ratnikaite (Lithuania, 2004 Graduate). Faculty of Siauliai University. Theology.

		My studies in Marriage and Family, particularly the works of Pope John Paul II, have been very important for me in instructing young children who live in the arms of their family and in helping parents, the primary educators of their children. Richard Gildersleeve, (USA, 2003 Graduate). Founding member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Middle School in South Carolina. Religion and science teacher. Lecturer in Bioethics.
