SEEK 2026 Shines a Light on a New Generation of Catholics

Relevant Radio was honored to serve as a presenting sponsor of SEEK 2026, held January 1–5 in Columbus, Ohio, an event that drew more than 16,000 attendees to the Greater Columbus Convention Center and gathered tens of thousands more who participated across the other locations. Organized by FOCUS, SEEK once again proved to be a powerful witness to the vitality of the Church, especially among young adults seeking truth, community, and a deeper relationship with Christ.

Throughout the conference, the Relevant Radio mission of bringing Christ to the world through the media was on full display. For three consecutive mornings before daily Mass, Fr. Rocky Hoffman and Maggie Carrozza led the Family Rosary Across America LIVE from the conference, uniting thousands of attendees on site with listeners across the nation in prayer.



The Relevant Radio booth quickly became a hub of activity during the five-day event. Thousands of attendees stopped by to receive free daily stickers, post their prayer intentions on the intention wall, and take photos in front of a striking large-scale mural of Our Lady of Guadalupe that served as a visual reminder of Mary’s maternal care for the Church.



The booth also provided opportunities for personal connection, as attendees met Fr. Rocky, Maggie Carrozza, and show host Patrick Madrid, conversations that often turned into moments of encouragement, laughter, and shared faith.



One of the most talked-about features of the Relevant Radio presence at SEEK 2026 was the raffle of a 2025 Ford Mustang Convertible, generously donated by a supporter. Attendees entered for a chance to win by texting SEEK to 914914, with the winner receiving the new car plus $5,000. The raffle not only generated excitement across the conference floor, but also helped introduce thousands of young Catholics to Relevant Radio, many of whom were encountering the network for the first time.



Relevant Radio involvement with SEEK reflects a longstanding commitment to supporting FOCUS and its mission of evangelizing college students and forming missionary disciples. Year after year, Relevant Radio has embraced the opportunity to meet students, missionaries, priests, religious, and families from across the country and around the world, listening to their stories and sharing resources that help them live out their faith beyond the conference walls.

Relevant Radio was grateful to be part of the SEEK 2026 mission, walking alongside a new generation of Catholics, praying with them, listening to them, and inviting them to stay connected long after the final session ended.
