Connected, yet isolated
We are more connected than any generation before us, and more alone. Screens stand in for friendship. For Catholics, that isolation pulls us away from the Body of Christ.
Why we built this
Technology should help Catholics meet in person. It should not replace the Church.
Technology in service of communion
Pope Leo XIV has said technology, including AI, must serve the human person and uphold human dignity. The sacraments and the liturgy remain the source and summit. We still need companions on the road to Emmaus: people who walk with us and help us recognize Christ.
Real meetings, not another feed
Help Us Follow Christ exists to make face-to-face friendship easier, not to replace it with an app. Groups, meetings, reminders, and commitments are here so the time together is the point.
Alongside the sacraments
A small group cannot replace Mass, Confession, or any sacrament. It is a place to live what we receive: the homily, our baptismal promises, and the courage to return to Reconciliation. In the Archdiocese of Detroit, this site also helps you find your pastorate and local Mass and Confession times.
Built to step aside
No ads, no data mining, no feed designed to hold your attention. We built this as Catholics, for Catholics, and then we get out of the way.

No one can be known for who he is except through the friends he has.
