The practices that have helped us grow in faith aren't always complicated. Sometimes it's a Rosary walk, showing up to Mass, joining a Bible study, or simply making time for community.

This month, our team shared a few faith practices that nurture the mind, body, and soul and keep us rooted in Christ.

Young people are searching for purpose, belonging, truth, and community.

The Catholic Church offers all of that. But too many students lose their connection during the transition from high school to college simply because no one helps them find their next Catholic community.

That's why the Faith Forward movement exists.

Together, we can make sure no student walks into a new season of life alone in faith. Join the movement and help connect the next generation to a Catholic community where they can continue growing closer to Christ. https://bit.ly/faith-forward-movement

Catholic graduates received a clear challenge this year: hold fast to your faith and be a beacon of hope.

But after graduation, staying connected to a faith community isn't always easy.

That's why Newman Connection created the Faith Forward Movement—to help students find a welcoming Catholic community wherever life takes them.

College is a big transition, but your faith shouldn’t be something you “figure out later.”

Through our national Faith Forward Movement, we help students step onto campus already connected to a Catholic community that will support them, walk with them, and help them grow in faith from day one.

“What an amazing opportunity it is for a student to exit their dorm, walk a few steps, and be face-to-face with the Lord.”

At St. Mary University Parish at CMU, students have daily access to Mass, confession, adoration, Bible studies, and an authentic Catholic community.

Andrea’s story is a beautiful reminder that campus ministry changes lives — one invitation at a time.

"The world has many voices competing for your attention. Listen for the voice of Christ."

A recent article from Catholic Standard shared this important reminder with Catholic graduates, and it's one every parent should hear.

College brings new opportunities, new friendships, and new influences. That's why finding a Catholic community before arriving on campus matters so much.

Through the Faith Forward movement, Newman Connection helps students stay connected to their faith during one of life's biggest transitions.

The Church has a future because young people are saying "yes" to community.

We were honored to host breakout sessions with high school students and share how the Faith Forward movement helps young Catholics stay connected to their faith and find community wherever God calls them next.

The energy, excitement, and faith we witnessed reminded us exactly why this mission matters.

Every student deserves to find a Catholic community where they are known, supported, and encouraged in their faith.

That's why we want to share stories of what happens when students get connected.

If your student's Newman Center, campus ministry, or Catholic community has impacted their faith, have them share it with us! Their story could encourage another student to take the next step and find their community, too.

Plus, they'll be entered to win a $150 prize pack. Learn more and have them submit their story on our website. https://bit.ly/share-newman-story-26

For many families, this season is full of goodbyes and new beginnings.

The Sacred Heart reminds us that even as our children take their next steps, they never leave the care of Christ. His love continues to guide, protect, and draw them closer to Him.

Our mission is to help students stay connected to their Catholic faith as they transition to college, trusting that Christ is already preparing the way for them.
