Goodfaith

Goodfaith Goodfaith is an independent, non-profit Catholic apostolate based in New Jersey. For more information, check out our programs page.

Our mission is to cultivate a vibrant community of faith in action through transformative experiences of missionary discipleship rooted in Catholic social tradition. Our Mission and Our Faith: The Center for FaithJustice inspires the next generation of leaders by creating programs to serve those in need and educate for justice in the Catholic tradition. Who We Are: Rooted in the Catholic tradition

, the Center for FaithJustice affirms the essential relationship between what we believe and how we live. We join the words “Faith” and “Justice” into a single term to reflect our conviction that faith and justice are intimately bound together. God calls us – as individuals and as communities – to act on behalf of the vulnerable, weak and oppressed. Through CFJ’s work, we ask people of faith to revisit and renew their commitment to the Gospel and the common good. We are inspired by the Second Vatican Council’s teaching that “[t]he laity must take up the renewal of the temporal order as their own special obligation,” and thus “[e]verywhere and in all things they must seek the justice of God’s kingdom.” Through our projects, we hope that people of good will grow in understanding of the spiritual life and deepen their commitment to pursuing social, economic, and political justice for all people. Since our founding in 2008, we have served more than 4,000 young people through our WorX programs, which are retreat-style service immersion experiences. Our alumni have gone on to become impressive servant leaders in many diverse fields.

Ask Katie if she's a socialist and she'll tell you with a smile: nope, Catholic.

When you teach Catholic social teaching, people sometimes reach for labels. But everything in CST points back somewhere. To an encyclical. To the gospel. To Jesus himself. It's not a political agenda. It's the faith.

Katie Holler and Krista Varney of the Dorothea Project joined us to talk about what it looks like to live that tradition out loud.

Thank you to everyone who joined us Sunday for our One Body in Christ vigil. What a gift to gather in adoration, walk together in prayer, and fellowship in solidarity with our immigrant families and neighbors.

There's something holy about voices lifted together in song, strangers becoming friends, a community showing up for one another. That's the heart of it.

"For I was a stranger and you welcomed me." (Matthew 25:35)

Grateful for our partners The Diocese of Trenton, Catholic Charities of Trenton, and Catholics in Communion, and for every person who came out to witness to this truth: we belong to one another.

The Season of Faithful Witness continues. Stay tuned for what's next.

"Too much, too fast, too hard." That's how Karen describes the world we're all living in.
Here's the part that stuck with us: you don't actually need anyone to tell you how to take care of yourself. You already know. What you're missing is the time, the space, the permission, and the support to do it.

But the pause is hard, right? Our bodies are so wired for what's next, what's next, what's next that just stopping feels almost impossible.

New episode with somatic practitioner Karen Bortvedt Estrada, out now.

"The thing that's gonna change the world is us falling in love with God. And that will trickle into the workforces — whether you're a doctor, a lawyer, or whatever God's calling you to do."

Our guest has spent nearly 20 years walking alongside young adults on college campuses.

One year of Pope Leo XIV, and the story behind his name says everything. 🕊️

Our latest episode features , Vatican correspondent for America magazine, giving her perspective on Leo XIV: why he chose that name, what it signals about his vision for the Church, and why he was described as "the calm in the storm" from the very beginning.

From Leo XIII's Catholic social teaching during the Industrial Revolution to AI and whatever comes next, this papacy is focused on the future.

What if the most important things happening in your faith community can't be counted?

Attendance numbers and giving reports don't measure whether people are actually growing in faith. Are there hearts changing? Relationships deepening? Are their lives being transformed?

That's exactly why we created the Transformational Ministry Assessment.

Grounded in the walk to Emmaus story and rooted in Catholic social tradition, the TMA gives parishes a new way to reflect on real formation across four dimensions: Head, Heart, Hands, and Community.

It's not just a tool. It's a conversation starter about where God might be inviting your parish to grow.
