FAITH Catholic is a nonprofit corporation sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Lansing established to serve the Church. Our mission is to connect people with Jesus and his Church.
FAITH Catholic offers custom publishing, websites and digital services, integrated marketing, strategic consultation, and parish products to Catholic dioceses and organizations. We are America's largest publisher of Catholic magazines.
FAITH began in 2000 as a magazine for the Diocese of Lansing, and in 2003, began publishing for other dioceses and Catholic organizations. In 2009, FAITH merged with the diocese’s 40-year-old liturgical publisher, Liturgical Commission Publishings, to form FAITH Catholic. FAITH Catholic also hosts Masstimes.org, a tool for travelers to locate a church and Mass near them.
