SEEK 2026: Neo-Modernist Spectacle Masquerading as Catholic Renewal
EWTN News reports that the “SEEK 2026” conference organized by FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) will occur simultaneously in Columbus, Denver, and Fort Worth from January 1-5, 2026. The event, themed “To the Heights!” after the recently “canonized” Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini (Paul VI)’s protege Pier Giorgio Frassati, promises “transformative experiences” through “prayer, adoration, [and] the sacraments” alongside entertainment and talks. Columbus pseudo-bishop Earl Fernandes praises the conference as showing “the new, young face of the Church, ablaze with hope,” while FOCUS founder Curtis Martin claims participants will “reignite our passion to share Christ with the world.” The event will be broadcast globally through EWTN’s platforms.
