The Project: Campus Ministry and Catholic LIFE are co-sponsoring a student trip to attend the SEEK Conference in St. Louis, MO, January 2-6, 2023. SEEK is a Catholic conference for young adults hosted by FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. Through prayer, sacraments, inspiring keynotes, and more, this event is an opportunity for students to encounter the Gospel anew and to be revived, equipped and encouraged for a life of faith in Christ.
Who We Are: Rooted in our Catholic and Marianist tradition, Campus Ministry is a university department that cultivates the faith life of the campus community through transformative encounters with God. Catholic LIFE is a student faith-based organization that strives to live out the New Evangelization through dedication to relational ministry, faithfulness to Church doctrine, and sharing in the radical call of discipleship, compelled by Christ in the Eucharist.
The Impact: Our identity as a Catholic and Marianist institution calls us to cultivate encounters with Christ in community. The SEEK Conference will help the students who participate to develop a richer understanding and experience in our tradition and faith. The students who attend this conference will be able to bring back new ideas, insights, and Spirit to our campus to enliven our campus' sense of Catholic mission and faith.
What Your Gifts Will Do: Your gift will support each of our student participants’ experiences in attending this incredible event in St. Louis. We are raising money to make the conference more financially affordable and to ensure that finances are not an obstacle for students’ abilities to attend and experience this opportunity for encounter in faith.
Share this Message: Please help us spread the word about this project and encourage your network to support us in prayer and, if possible, in financial donation.
Thanks for Your Support: Every prayer and dollar counts in helping make this experience possible for our students! Thank you so much for your generous support of our Catholic community at the University of Dayton!
Hi everyone,
Thank you again for supporting Campus Ministry, Catholic LIFE and our University of Dayton students through this crowdfunding campaign nearly one year ago!
I am so excited to share that the Campus Ministry and Catholic LIFE teams are back again for another round of crowdfunding for their attendance at SEEK 2024. This year's conference takes place in St. Louis, MO.
You can view this year's crowdfunding campaign and make a gift now through October 28, 2023. This year's campaign video highlights some of the amazing experiences our students had at last year's event so you'll be able to see your dollars at work!
Thanks again for your support! I know our Campus Ministry staff and students truly appreciate it.
Go Flyers,

We have just under 5 days left of our campaign to raise money for students to attend SEEK this January and have already exceeded our goal! So thank you so much to all of you who have donated for helping to make this trip possible. We have 19 eager students who are so excited to be attending this incredible event and encountering the Lord with other college students from around the country.
Please continue to pray for us as we prepare for this experience and let us know how we can pray for us. If you would like us to hold any intentions throughout SEEK, please offer your intentions using this link: SEEK Prayer Intentions.
834 days ago by Emily BaldwinThank you to all who have donated to and shared this campaign! We have reached 75% of our goal and have just $625 left to raise before our campaign ends on November 7! The more that we raise, the more each student is able to pay down their portion of the conference fee. Please help our students attend this incredible conference to encounter the Lord! We ask that you continue to share this campaign with your friends and family and that you continue to pray for us. We are all praying for you and praising God for God's abundant blessings.
842 days ago by Emily BaldwinThursday evening we held our SEEK Info Night to invite interested students to learn more about the conference and how to join with UD's group. We had many students packed into the living room space of the house we held it in and a lot of buzz around attending this incredible event. Students who went last year shared how because of COVID it was a regional event, which was great, but how much more exciting will it be to see so many people from all over the country! We have just about three weeks left in our campaign and have quite a ways to go! Please help make this excitement come to fruition for the many students who are yearning to attend this conference!
Here is a link to the "hype video" we showed from the FOCUS YouTube. Hopefully you get chills just like we did! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJWC040_WBE
Share this campaign with your friends and family and pray for us as we have been praying for all of you!
