G.R.A.C.E offers academics and practitioners interested in new, integrated and revitalized approaches to Catholic education the opportunity to collaborate in researching the challenges and opportunities facing Catholic education. G.R.A.C.E brings together the themes of head (Catholicity; policy context of Catholic education), heart (spirituality; formation) and hands (social justice; service learning) within a Community of Practice to encourage networking and to promote shared research opportunities.
