Newman Connection connects students with a Catholic community on college campuses. Over 80% of students stop practicing their faith in college.

At Newman Connection, we connect students with a Catholic community on campus, so their faith thrives in college and beyond.

You can’t go to every Mass with your student, meet every new Catholic friend they make, or be there for every conversation about faith when they are in college.

That’s okay.

Your role is changing, but you can still play an important part in helping your student build a life of faith as they prep to go beyond their home parish and routine.

We asked our Newman staff for some of their favorite ways parents can stay supportive without hovering. The result? A few simple things that can make a big difference.

Join the Faith Forward movement and help connect your student (and other young Catholics) with a Catholic community where they can grow, belong, and be known. https://bit.ly/faith-forward-movement

It takes a community to help young Catholics grow in faith, and we’re proud to be building that community with these incredible diocesan partners: Diocese of Austin, Catholic Diocese of Beaumont, North Texas Catholic, and the Diocese of San Angelo! 🙌

This April, we’ll welcome students from their dioceses and beyond to the first-ever Faith Forward Rally: a chance for young Catholics to encounter Christ, build friendships, and connect with a community that will encourage them in their faith.

Catholic parents, youth ministers, and parish leaders: bring your students and join this movement! Learn more about the Faith Forward Rally and get your group tickets: https://bit.ly/ff-rally-2027

Morgan came to Kansas State with “little to no direction in my faith.” By her sophomore year, she wanted more. Then a friend invited her to Mass at St. Isidore’s.

“Immediately, I felt at home.”

That night, she emailed the priests and asked to get coffee. They wrote back right away.

Morgan’s story shows what can happen when someone is noticed, invited in, and connected to a Catholic community.

That’s what Faith Forward is all about: helping students find their next Catholic community, so they can be known, supported, and at home in their faith.

Know a student who loves to create? Send this their way. 👀

The Faith Forward Rally is bringing together hundreds of young Catholics, and we’re looking for the design they’ll all be wearing.

Your student could design the official Rally T-shirt and see their work worn by young Catholics from across the country in April 2027.

If they’re creative, artistic, or just have a great idea, encourage them to enter! Learn more about the Contest at https://newmanconnection.org/rally-t-shirt-contest

What does it actually take to help a college freshman stay connected to their faith?

This fall, our Campus Ministry Partners gave us a closer look at what happens after a student is reached, and what helps turn that first connection into real community.

From reaching students earlier to the power of peer invitations, we're learning more about what it takes, and it’s already shaping how we're preparing to welcome the Class of 2027.

This is why we believe in Faith Forward.

Because getting a young person connected to a Catholic community can open the door to something much bigger.

At Texas A&M University, a Newman Connection partner, hundreds of students are exploring the Catholic faith through OCIA. Their stories remind us that young people are searching, and that a welcoming Catholic community can make all the difference.

We’re grateful to be part of the work to ensure young Catholics are connected, supported, and known. Help us keep them moving Faith Forward. https://bit.ly/donate-newmanconnection

St. Carlo Acutis is proof that young people aren’t just the future of the Church. They’re part of the Church right now.

His life challenges us to give young Catholics the community, friendship, and support they need to live their faith boldly.

Through Faith Forward, we are working to connect young people with Catholic communities where they can be known, supported, and grow in their faith.

Help us move young Catholics with their faith forward. Join the movement. https://bit.ly/faith-forward-movement

St. John Henry Newman dedicated his life to seeking truth and helping others grow in faith. On his feast day, we celebrate his legacy by continuing that mission for the next generation.

Every year, students leave the familiarity of home and enter a new chapter of life. Newman Connection helps them find a Catholic community where their faith can continue to grow and flourish.

Your generosity helps make those connections possible.

Sometimes, a college campus becomes the place where a young person discovers a deeper relationship with Christ. Having people to ask questions with, pray alongside, and grow in faith with can make all the difference.

The recent story from Harvard University highlights why Newman Connection’s mission matters: helping students find Catholic community during one of the most formative seasons of their lives.

Happy Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary! 📿

Pope Leo XIV has called Catholics around the world to pray the Rosary throughout October.

Today, let’s also entrust every child and young person to Our Lady — including the students finding Catholic community through Newman Connection.

Pray for them. Pray for our mission. Pray for everyone who makes this work possible.

As we unite prayer with action, consider practicing almsgiving by supporting Newman Connection. Every gift helps us connect more young people to a Catholic community and a place to grow in faith. https://bit.ly/donate-newmanconnection

🙏 Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!
