17.01.2025, ITI Event
Representing the ITI at SEEK 2025 was an amazing experience. From seeing the Holy mass celebrated together with so many priests and bishops, to attending great talks made by amazing speakers. It truly was an incredible experience; an amazing opportunity to spread the ITI culture and image to even more like-minded individuals. Seeing the number of young Catholics coming together to celebrate their faith in unison with one another is truly inspiring!
Attending the SEEK Conference 2025 in Cologne was like a manifestation of our Holy Mother Church right in front us. Seeing multiple bishops and dozens of priests enter the Cathedral for Holy Mass every day was already showing the greatness of the Catholic Church. But celebrating the mysteries of God’s Love with so many others, who share the same faith, was most impactful.
Being there as an ITI-student, in the middle of all those people, who also seek Christ, made me once again realize the importance of our studies: It is not just for ourselves, that we aspire to learn more about God and our faith, but, finally, to let everyone partake in the truth and, thus, become one, unified communion.
Besides confirming, it was truly refreshing and inspiring to get a glimpse of God’s living plan of drawing all people to Himself. It would only be fitting to claim that each participant was offered a new way of coming closer to God: Through the common prayers, all the speakers and their personal testimonies. In the end, it is an honor that we too were able to be part of this; our Lord’s continued way of salvation, in the motto of our school “Sicut cervus ad fontes” (by letting everyone come to Him, The Source).
