Sister Miriam, SOLT and Bishop Robert Barron were the keynote speakers tonight, preparing the students for a weeklong encounter with Christ. \u00a0Each college campus has created a mixture between local and live-streamed events. \u00a0At Georgia Southern, the only university in the Diocese of Savannah with FOCUS missionaries, about sixty students gathered for Mass, dinner, games, the live-streamed presentation, and small groups. \u00a0The conference will continue tomorrow night, Saturday, and Sunday.<\/p>\n

Though livestreaming presents obvious limitations, presenting SEEK this way has allowed the largest number of college students to participate. \u00a0Also, FOCUS prepared a parish track of the program for parishioners not connected with college campus ministry to participate.\u00a0 Nearly 2,000 parishes are participating.\u00a0 Clergy, FOCUS benefactors, and non-college students are able to participate.<\/p>\n

An event such as SEEK is an encouraging and reassuring that the Catholic faith is alive among our young people. \u00a0FOCUS missionaries are dedicated and faithful young men and women who leave everything behind to dedicate a few years of their lives to the sharing of the Gospel where it is desperately needed: college campuses. \u00a0The efforts of these missionaries continue to bear great fruit.<\/p>\n
