“Any seminarian, any vocational director, any brother Bishop who may be considering attending SEEK or sending a seminarian to SEEK — please do so! There is so much to be gained. It would be a great gift, not only to that seminarian, but also to the diocese. Individuals who attend SEEK come back a different person, come back transformed, energized, filled with zeal!” -Bishop Michael Burbidge, Diocese of Arlington

"The Seminarian Impact sessions were very special. We were addressed as future pastors with real seriousness and sincerity about the role we're accepting. I felt excited, encouraged, and capable because of the tone and content." - Seminarian from SEEK24

"I was extremely impressed with the Seminarian Experience. I felt very loved, valued, and inspired to serve a Church on fire for the Lord!" - Seminarian from SEEK24

  • Submitting a request is not a commitment; it is an expression of interest in group housing.
  • When submitting your request, estimate high on how many rooms you will need, especially if you are not traveling with a set number of people and may later need to add rooms (it is easier to drop rooms than add.
  • Request any additional rooms by November 15. Please note that it may not be possible to fulfill your request due to availability.
