Editorial stance

In keeping with its Redemptorist background, the magazine advocated an active Christian ethos. In particular, it was a Catholic magazine for teens who want something deeper. Issues raised includes career choices, how to handle bullying, loneliness, and making life-enhancing decisions. Face Up worked in partnership with other agencies seeking to support young people.

gollark: I'll probably just leave the trade up for a few days, none of the offers seem hugely time-sensitive.
gollark: People do NDs without catchers or anything? Wow.
gollark: Huh, perhaps they're more common since ND discussion is allowed on the forums now.
gollark: The offers have basically entirely been 2G prizes + extra things and honestly I'd like something different to that.
gollark: It's kind of annoying that I haven't really gotten any new interesting offers on my ND trades in about six hours.
