Faith Catholic

What Faith Catholic does

Faith Catholic is a nonprofit Catholic media company, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Lansing, Michigan, that operates as a Catholic ministry serving U.S. dioceses and Catholic organizations. The company is sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Lansing and structured under a board chaired by Rev. Dwight Ezop with the Bishop of Lansing as a member. Its core offering is custom magazine publishing — content development, graphic design, and production — sold on multi-year contracts to diocesan and organizational clients, alongside Communications Consulting engagements for strategic planning, research, and marketing campaign execution.

The company's product portfolio spans print and digital publishing as well as ancillary digital services. Core products include Magazine Publishing using the FAITH Catholic Framework of shared columns and features; Digital Publishing Services bundling custom websites, monthly e-newsletters, social media management (two posts per day on Facebook and Instagram), and a real-time analytics dashboard covering visits, page views, traffic origination, and engagement; and Communications Consulting. Secondary products include the FAITH Advertising Network for cross-publication ad placement, MassTimes.org (a free church and Mass locator database covering 117,000 churches in 201 countries and territories), Parish Products e-commerce, and Digital Subscriptions management at faithcatholicsubscriptions.com.

Revenue is generated through four streams: per-publication professional-services fees for magazine publishing (multi-year contracts), monthly recurring subscriptions for digital publishing bundles, project-based professional services for communications consulting, and transaction-based advertising fees through the FAITH Advertising Network. Go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven enterprise sales targeting bishops and diocesan leadership, complemented by community-led credibility via Catholic Media Association awards, Catholic Press Association recognition, Mid-Michigan Creative Alliance ADDY awards, Gallup's "top 1% of highly engaged workplaces" recognition, and an owned blog (Content Evangelist). The company publishes more than 60 publications for Catholic dioceses and organizations and is self-described as "America's largest publisher of Catholic magazines."

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• EWTN: EWTN is the largest Catholic media network globally, operating TV, radio, and digital platforms. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Faith Catholic on Catholic content publishing and audience reach, though at vastly larger scale.
• Christianity Today: Christianity Today is the leading evangelical Christian media brand with magazines, news, and digital platforms. It is an analog to Faith Catholic in mission-driven denominational publishing, though it targets the broader evangelical market.

Emerging players

• Catholic Answers: Catholic Answers operates Catholic.com, Catholic Answers Media, and Catholic Answers Press — a Catholic media and publishing platform. It intersects with Faith Catholic's content evangelization and publishing offerings but skews more digital/apologetics.
• Ascension: Ascension produces Catholic study programs, the Ascension digital app, and multimedia faith content for parishes and individuals. It competes with Faith Catholic on the parish-content and digital evangelization side rather than on diocesan magazine publishing.

Direct peers

• Our Sunday Visitor: Our Sunday Visitor is one of the largest U.S. Catholic publishers of periodicals, missals, and parish/catechetical resources. It is the most direct comparative to Faith Catholic's magazine and digital publishing model for Catholic dioceses and parishes.
• America Media: America Media publishes America's flagship Jesuit Catholic magazine plus digital channels and podcasts. It overlaps Faith Catholic on Catholic periodical publishing and a multi-channel editorial/distribution model.
• The Word Among Us: The Word Among Us is a Catholic devotional magazine publisher with large parish-distribution reach. It is directly comparable to Faith Catholic on subscription-distributed Catholic periodicals and parish partnerships.
• Liguori Publications: Liguori Publications is a Redemptorist-owned Catholic publisher producing devotionals, missals, and small-format periodicals. It is comparable to Faith Catholic in mission-aligned publishing targeting Catholic individuals and parishes.

Regional players

• Liturgy Training Publications: Liturgy Training Publications produces liturgical and worship resources for Catholic parishes and dioceses. It is comparable to Faith Catholic's post-merger liturgical publishing division, though it operates at a smaller scale and with overlapping editorial scope.
• Relevant Media Group: Relevant Media Group publishes Relevant magazine and digital channels aimed at younger Christians. It is comparable to Faith Catholic's younger-audience engagement play but serves a broader evangelical rather than specifically Catholic market.
