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.

You can still double your impact and transform lives with Goodfaith! A generous donor has offered to match every dollar you give, up to $5,000. This means your $50 gift becomes $100, your $100 gift becomes $200—and together, we can raise $10,000 to scale our work in parishes, schools, and dioceses across the country.

Our latest research, Accompanying Youth: Mapping the Path toward Deeper Discipleship, shows that our work is transforming young people and the adults who accompany them.

-93% of youth said that they practice their faith in their daily lives as a result of NeXt Level
-100% of mentors reported that they have confidence and competence in sharing their faith with youth.
-And the majority of youth participants said that living their lives in accordance with Catholic social teaching is now central to their faith.

This type of transformative work is made possible by donors like you! In 2025 your gift will support our work with youth on service and justice experiences, with families through Family Matters, and taking our work to new places like dioceses and parishes across the country!

It was a great weekend with high school volunteers from St. Joe's Prep as they helped the community of Trenton, Princeton, Hamilton, and Yardville.

The students got the opportunity to serve at Visitation Home, The Farminary, CYO Mercer, and Habitat for Humanity ReStore!

This past Sunday, the Goodfaith community gathered with the community at Incarnation-St. James parish to bless a new mural on our building on the St. James campus.

Earlier this year, we commissioned community artist, Becky McIntyre, to design this mural telling the story of NeXt Level, celebrating our new name, and honoring our history. Our NeXt Level youth, mentors, and Goodfaith staff all took part in painting it. Fr. Stan DeBoe, pastor of Incarnation-St. James, offered this blessing. It was a joy to be together!

The Goodfaith Team had a great time in community with fellow grantees of Lilly Endowment’s Christian Parenting Initiative. We joined more than 300 colleagues from across denominations to dream, imagine, and think creatively about how we engage young people (and those that love them! ❤️) in their faith. We even got to present on some of the “just parenting” concepts we’re developing as part of Family Matters.
