Called 
Keeping Young Catholics Connected to Their Faith
THE CHALLENGE
Leaving home shouldn’t mean leaving faith behind.
For many young Catholics, graduation means leaving the parish, school, family, and friendships that helped form their faith. Their next Catholic community may be waiting, but without a personal invitation, they may never find it.
THE CONNECTION
A personal invitation can make all the difference.
When someone reaches out by name, a young person knows they matter. Through Faith Forward, trusted Catholic partners help make those invitations possible before students leave home.
THE VISION
Never let a student walk alone.
We envision a future where every young Catholic can move from the community that formed them to a Catholic community ready to welcome them.
FAITH FORWARD
A National Movement. One Student at a Time.
Faith Forward brings together dioceses, schools, parishes, campus ministries, families, and national Catholic partners to help young people stay connected to their faith after high school.
With 118 endorsed dioceses and a growing network of Catholic partners, the Church is working together to make personal connections possible for every young Catholic.
SIGN UP
The Church comes together to reach graduating seniors and help them take the first step toward their next Catholic community.
PERSONALLY INVITED
Through our national network of Catholic partners, young people receive personal invitations to stay connected to their faith before leaving home.
CONNECTED
Students are welcomed into Catholic communities where they are needed, known, and belong.
Known by name. Personally invited. Connected to the Catholic community.
You Have a Role in Faith Forward
It takes the whole Church to help the next generation stay connected. Whether you support the mission, serve young people, or are preparing for life after high school, you can help make the next connection possible.
FAITH FORWARD IN ACTION
This Is What Belonging Looks Like
Across the country, Catholic campus ministries and communities are welcoming young people by name, building friendships, and helping them grow in faith.
Behind every connection is a young person who matters.
One Growing National Catholic Network
For 17 years, Newman Connection has helped young Catholics take the next step toward their Catholic community. Today, Faith Forward is building on that mission through a growing network of trusted Catholic partners. Together, we’re reaching more graduating seniors, making more personal invitations possible, and helping the next generation stay connected to the Church.
