Sacred Heart Theological College (SHTC), originally known as Our Lady’s House was opened at Laitumkhrah, Shillong in 1928 for the formation of the Salesian clerics. It was shifted to its present site at Mawlai in 1938.

Temporarily closed in 1967, the college was reopened inn 1976. Ever since it’s reopening, taking into account the particular advantages of its location, the College has been striving to promote Missiological studies. From August 1993 the college has been offering a one year Integrated training for Laity and Religious (I.T.L.R) It is in response to a felt need of the Church in this area. The aim of the course is to impart a deeper knowledge of Christian faith and doctrine so that it may be lived more personally and shared more competently with the people at large especially the youth.

From the academic year 2005 – 06 SHTC offers a two year Diploma Course in Theology (D.C.T). The programme of studies is suited to Religious Brothers.
