SEEK 2025: All Ages Welcome

SEEK 2025 in Salt Lake City is shaping up to be an unforgettable event for college students and parishioners alike. 

What started as a college-focused conference has grown to embrace Catholics from all walks of life, and parishioners are warmly invited to join in this powerful experience. 

Parishioners can dive into the Making Missionary Disciples track, gaining vision and practical training in small group settings to live as disciples of Christ in daily life. With sessions on parish life, marriage and family, prayer, and evangelization, SEEK equips attendees to bring their faith home. Parish Packs even make it easy for parish groups to attend together and carry SEEK’s impact back to their communities.

Here are three reasons why SEEK25 is a must-attend for anyone wanting to deepen their faith:

1. Witness the Church Alive and Thriving

For many parishioners, it can feel discouraging to see fewer young faces at Mass. 

SEEK25 offers a heartening counterpoint: thousands of young Catholics on fire for Christ, worshiping together. 

From vibrant adoration sessions to grand processions of clergy and religious, the conference is a living testament to the Church’s vitality and the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. Parishioners who attend will leave encouraged by this dynamic witness to the faith, realizing the Church is alive and filled with hope.

2. Gain Insight and Inspiration from Top Catholic Speakers

SEEK 2025 isn’t just for college students; its sessions are thoughtfully designed to resonate with all audiences. 

Parishioners can attend the Making Missionary Disciples Track, featuring sessions on topics like marriage, family life, prayer, and evangelization. With speakers like Father Mike Schmitz, Dr. Edward Sri, and Sister Miriam James Heidland, parishioners will be inspired to grow in their own faith and equipped to bring that faith back to their communities. Practical training sessions even cover how to share the Gospel and one’s testimony, all at no extra cost.

3. Be Part of the Great Commission

Christ’s call in Matthew 28:18-20, to “make disciples of all nations,” isn’t just for the college crowd—it’s for every baptized Catholic. 

Parishioners have a unique role to play in spreading the faith, and SEEK provides the tools and inspiration needed to fulfill this mission. By attending SEEK 2025, parishioners can return home equipped and energized to live as missionary disciples within their own parishes.
