Set Aside Funds in Your Parish Budget

Help as many parishioners attend SEEK. Every dollar you set aside is an investment in building a culture of discipleship. Consider offering scholarships, securing group transportation, or gathering your group for meals. See the guide below for more tips on how to budget for SEEK27.   

Invite Others - SEEK is best experienced TOGETHER.

SEEK is a 5-day experience designed to spark lasting transformation in your parish. We recommend that priests and parishioners from the same parish attend together, fostering a shared vision for renewal and gaining practical training. This prepares them to return and inspire a culture of holiness, conversion, and discipleship within their community. 

People of all ages and backgrounds are transformed when they are inspired by a compelling vision of evangelization and return to their parishes together! 

What is SEEK?

SEEK is a five-day experience where thousands of Catholics come together to encounter Christ through prayer, Adoration, the sacraments, and inspiring speakers. It’s a chance to focus on what matters most, grow in authentic community, and be transformed in your faith.

  • FOCUS has reserved blocks at local hotels near each SEEK location. During registration, you will be asked if you want to receive a link to book housing within these discounted blocks in Fall 2026
    • You may also book a room on your own, find a place on Airbnb or VRBO, or stay with local friends/family.
  • Jan. 2, 3, and 4 of SEEK begins with Mass at 8:30 AM each morning. Keynotes end around 8:30 PM each evening, with optional events and entertainment afterward.
  • Staying within walking distance of the convention center/venue can help you be fully present to all the SEEK content and take advantage of long lunch and dinner breaks to rest.
  • If you decide to stay further away, plan time for parking each morning, or consider using Uber or other ridesharing services.
    This may save money compared to daily parking rates, or ask a local friend or family member to drop you off and pick you up each day.

We recommend booking flights early to keep travel costs down. Ideally, look for flights that arrive before 2 pm local time on January 1 and leave after 2 pm on January 5.

You will need to check in for SEEK, check into your hotel, and grab dinner before the opening Mass on January 1, so arriving earlier in the day can lead to a more relaxed first day of SEEK.

For driving, research parking options near the convention center/venue and reserve a spot ahead of time, if applicable.

Columbus, OH: Greater Columbus Convention Center, 400 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215

San Antonio, TX: Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center 900 E Market St, San Antonio, TX 78205

 

Every Event Pass includes the following: 

  • Lunch each full day of the conference 
  • Entrance to all sessions with in-demand Catholic speakers 
  • Access to evening concerts and entertainment 
  • Conference resources, such as the SEEK app and access to our discounted hotel room block

It sold out at locations in SEEK25 & SEEK26, but has yet to sell out at all SEEK locations the same year.
