It Starts with an Invitation
Every year, nearly one million Catholic students graduate from high school and step into college, the military, or the workforce. Too many quietly drift away from their faith — not because they stopped believing, but because no one invited them into their next Catholic community.
We believe no student should walk into that transition alone.
That’s why we launched Faith Forward—a national movement to ensure every graduating senior is expected, welcomed, and known by name by their next Catholic community.
Faith Forward is more than a program. It’s a partnership between dioceses, parishes, Catholic high schools, parents, and campus ministries—working together so students don’t have to search for the Church. The Church is already ready for them.
“If it weren’t for the Newman Center at my university, I would be an atheist today. But thanks to the Newman Center on my campus, I had the support, guidance, and love of a faith-based community to keep me close to God!”
– Stephanie F., Catholic Middle School Teacher
