To the Heights: Help send Shockers to SEEK 2026

This January, 138 St. Paul students are packing their bags and heading to Denver, Colorado for SEEK 2026: a five-day Catholic conference that brings together thousands of college students from across the country to encounter Christ, grow in community, and be renewed in their faith.

We are sending the second largest group of students from our region! 

The theme this year - “To the Heights” - is inspired by St. Pier Giorgio Frassati, a beloved patron of young adults. His motto, “Verso l’alto,” captured both his love for climbing mountains and his desire to reach the heights of holiness. SEEK invites students to do the same - to climb higher in their relationship with Christ and live out their faith with courage and joy.

When our students returned from SEEK 2025 in Salt Lake City, they came back transformed - praying together more often, starting Bible studies, and inviting friends into a deeper relationship with Jesus. The spark ignited at SEEK continues to shine here at St. Paul, shaping our campus ministry and inspiring new leaders in faith.

Check out a few of their testimonials on our SEEK Stories page! These are real examples of how your generosity helps form missionary disciples right here at home.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting you to be part of that transformation. Your gift helps make this experience possible for our students by covering key expenses like transportation, lodging, and meals along the way.
