The SEEK21 Conference of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) was held nationally across the United States Feb. 4-7, with small groups of college-age young adults gathered for prayer, study, sharing and friendship in many communities. One of them included a gathering at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown, where Archbishop Nelson Perez led a eucharistic holy hour on Sunday, Feb. 7. He also visited with a group of SEEK21 participants at the Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul, Philadelphia. See a gallery of photos below, and watch videos of highlights from the shrine, and the homily of Archbishop Perez. (Photos and videos by Sarah Webb)
