What Is The Faith Movement And What Does It Do?

The Faith Movement is an orthodox Roman Catholic organisation which operates in the United Kingdom. It is predominantly a movement for young Catholics but also catechises to adults through its events and publications. Faith was established in 1972 and was founded by Fr Edward Holloway and Fr Roger Nesbitt. The movement promotes a new synthesis of science and religion which makes sense of the modern scientific world whilst remaining loyal to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. The synthesis, which promotes Jesus Christ as Lord of the Cosmos and Lord of all history, was written by Fr Holloway and has its origins with his mother, Agnes Holloway, who claimed she received private revelations from God. It was set up in response to what it calls "a breakdown in catechesis" in the Church in Britain following the Second Vatican Council.

Faith holds two major conferences for young people per year – one in the summer and one at Christmastime. They consist of talks, discussion, the celebration of Mass, sports activities and social time. It also organises summer breaks for teenage Catholics, as well as "Faith Forums" (evening talks with discussion and socialising) in London, Cambridge and Hull. It publishes a bi-monthly magazine in addition to pamphlets on various aspects of the Catholic faith.
