Mustard Seed Project

Inclusion, Equity, and Justice

Through the Mustard Seed Project, the Andrew M. Greeley Center for Catholic Education is creating approaches so that all are welcome in Catholic schools.

The Mustard Seed Project began over 10 years ago as a conference bringing together teachers and administrators to explore the topic of serving each student within the Catholic school setting. Like the mustard seed, this "project" has grown to become the foundation of our work.

At this time, the Greeley Center has decided to work more closely with schools, organizations, and dioceses to create a greater impact.
