Faith Forward Rally 2027

Courtyard by Marriott Dallas DFW Airport North/Grapevine
Grapevine, Texas

The transition after high school is one of the most important moments in a young Catholic’s faith journey.

Faith Forward Rally is a one-day Catholic experience for high school juniors and seniors, age 16 and older. It helps them move into what comes next with faith, confidence, and a welcoming community.

Through inspiring speakers, live music, prayer, honest conversations, and meaningful connection, young people will leave knowing:

Their faith belongs in their future.
They have a place in the Church.
A Catholic community is ready to welcome them.
They never have to walk alone.

Catholic high schools, parishes, dioceses, youth ministries, and families are invited to bring the young people in their care. Parents, clergy, educators, ministry leaders, youth leaders, and diocesan leaders are also welcome and encouraged to attend. Hosted by Newman Connection, Faith Forward Rally is more than a one-day event. Bring your juniors and seniors. Help their faith go with them.

Important Event Information: 

Refunds & Transfers
Full-price general admission tickets can be refunded if you ask at least 30 days before the event. Early bird, group rate, and diocesan tickets are non-refundable, at any time. Within 30 days of the rally, all sales are final — no exceptions. Group tickets can be transferred to another eligible attendee if someone can't make it. Cancellation and force majeure terms will be added before tickets go on sale.

Group Registration
To get the group rate, buy 10+ tickets in one order using the Group Ticket option.

• How it works:  A group leader purchases all the tickets, then is sent a link to share with their attendees. . Each attendee uses the link to claim a ticket and to register themselves. This gets us accurate info for every person in the group.
• Group leaders provide: Name, email, phone number, parish or school name, and expected group size.
• Age requirement: You must be 18 to buy a ticket. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or chaperone to complete their registration.

Your Information

We keep personal information only as long as we need it — for the event itself, or as required by law, insurance, or recordkeeping.

Health and emergency information is securely deleted after the event, unless we're required to keep it for documentation.

Minors & Parental Consent

Many of our events involve attendees under 18. For those attendees, we may collect: name, age or grade, parish or organization, and emergency contact info—to register them, keep them safe, communicate with their group leader, and run the event. We only collect a minor's information with consent from a parent, legal guardian, or authorized group leader. By submitting a minor's information, that adult confirms they have the legal authority to do so. Parents and guardians also agree to our collecting their own information where it's needed to support their child's participation—registration, onsite logistics, medical or safety issues, and event follow-up. We don't knowingly collect information directly from minors without proper consent. If we learn that happened, we'll delete it as quickly as we can. Parents and guardians can request access to, correction of, or deletion of their child's information at any time by contacting us.

Leave weapons and illegal substances at home. Have a ticket—this event is for ticketed guests only. Follow the safe-environment practices required by the diocese.
