Holy Cross Province participated in the 2026 SEEK Conference in Grapevine, Texas, last week alongside thousands of young adults gathered from across the country.

Hosted by FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students), SEEK created space for honest conversations about faith, community and purpose.

“Representing the Passionists at SEEK, we encountered nearly 6,000 energetic college students whose meaningful conversations revealed how deeply our charism resonates and gave us great hope for the future of our Church – and our world,” 

Emily Shaffer, Holy Cross Province Communications Team

Fr. Phillip Donlan, CP, Fr. Bruno D’Souza, CP, Natalie Svistoonoff and Emily Shaffer represented the Passionists at the event.

We Passionists were grateful to be present, listening to students’ stories, sharing our own experiences and connecting with young people who were exploring what it means to live with meaning and hope today.
