We’re kicking off 2027 in Columbus, Ohio, for FOCUS (Focus.org – Fellowship of Catholic University Students) annual SEEK Conference (seek.focus.org). The conference will run from January 1st through the 5th. Around 15,000 young adults will gather at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, while another 15,000 will gather at the second host location in San Antonio, TX We are blessed to be a first-time exhibitor at the Columbus location in 2027.
SEEK is a five-day conference, January 1-5. It invites Catholics, particularly young adults, to come together to experience the Church’s community, refocus on Christ as we enter a new year, listen to inspiring and formative speakers, connect with Catholic organizations, and encounter Christ in prayer and the Sacraments. SEEK is hosted by FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. FOCUS’s key mission is to form and equip young adults to be missionary disciples on their college campuses, in their parish, and in the world.
The conference will include a large exhibit hall, dynamic, nationally renowned speakers, and daily Masses. The SEEK Conference offers incredible opportunities to encounter Christ in the Sacraments and to experience the Church on a wider scale. If you are a young adult, please consider attending, and if you know a young adult, please consider encouraging them or even sponsoring them to attend.
For those not attending SEEK, please keep all those attending in prayer. Our usual First Saturday Mass will also continue as scheduled at the Oratory on January 2nd at 11 am.
