Want to Help Students Stay Connected? Start Here.
Faith Forward, powered by Newman Connection, makes it simple to personally connect students to their Catholic community after high school.
With one simple step, you can help a student stay connected to their faith—and never feel alone as they take their next step.
How You Can Help
Choose where you’re coming from:
The Faith Cliff is Real
As students leave home, many leave their faith behind. This moment is critical—but it doesn’t have to be a crisis.
Faith Forward is the National Solution
How Faith Forward Works
Three simple steps. That’s it.
Connect Your Student(s)
Share their information through Newman Connection. We match them to their next Catholic community.
Have a conversation with your students to help them connect through an upcoming class or youth event.
Connection can happen in two ways: Use our Faith Forward Connection Form or submit student names, personal emails, and college plans for your graduating seniors after May 1st.
We Make the Introduction
Once a student completes the form, we connect them with their next Catholic community. We will send you updates to let you celebrate with them as they connect.
Campus ministries personally reach out—by name—before students arrive.
They Arrive Connected
We will collect all the college plans from your school or parish and share the results with you so you know where they are headed next.
Not alone. Not unknown. Already invited into a Catholic community.
