What is the Faith Forward Rally?
Every Catholic junior and senior faces the same question: where will I belong after high school?
The Faith Forward Rally is a one-day event built for that moment. Students hear from speakers, join in worship, and meet other young Catholics. They leave with real next steps for finding a Catholic community, wherever they land after graduation.
