Looking out the window as we landed , I saw green grass along the runway . I knew then we were no longer in Kansas . Just after the first of the year , I traveled to San Antonio , Texas to attend seek 2017 . I was joined by Fr . Steve dos Santos , Sr . Patty Kramer , Sr . Karen Elliot , and Lori Benge . We came together as Precious Blood family .
seek 2017 was a conference with tons of college students from hundreds of colleges . Over 13,000 college students came together for five days of talks , workshops , art , and worship . It is sponsored by focus , an apostolate that focuses on launching college students into lifelong Catholic mission . focus missionaries work with college students to invite them to grow in their Catholic faith and relationship with Jesus Christ . Even beyond graduation , students are encouraged to continue to be leaders in ministry and reach out to others .
We were invited to interact with students in various ways throughout the week . We had our traditional
vocation booth and materials to hand out . We had continued on page 7
