Visit our NEW website www.onewith.onlineA Catholic Worship and Discipleship Experience
OneWith is a liturgical and Scripture focused spiritual formation designed to help all Catholics to better understand the Mass and our mission as disciples of Christ.
Love God, love neighbor… OneWith uses an apprenticeship model to help youth understand and apply Catholic practices and Scriptural Wisdom. More than 30 passionate adult mentors work with our youth in small groups and one-on-one to demonstrate and encourage youth to engage in fundamental practices of Christian discipleship!"Virtual OneWith"
Even though we are not able to offer our interactive OneWith Teaching Mass sessions at this time, we offer an alternative format for youth – along with their families, to focus on the OneWith core competencies of analyzing scriptures/liturgical traditions and distilling them into practical wisdom that youth can apply in their own lives.
Be Inspired Together
The Mass is an inexhaustible Mystery… Just like before, our "Virtual OneWith" sessions are rooted in experiencing and consiously unpacking the layers meaning in Catholic litugy and Sacred Scripture.
Working with a parent (or Confirmation Sponsor, etc.), youth will engage in a 3 step process of analysis, reflection, and application to draw out practiacl wisdom and inspiration for thier lives.- Step #1: Attend Sunday Mass with an adult family member/faith mentor. Youth (along with an adult family member/faith mentor) should attend or view a Catholic Mass that corresponds to the weekend of the "Virtual OneWith" Session - analyzing the different movements of the Mass and meanings contained in the scriptural readings.
- Step #2: Reflect - Youth (along with an adult family member/faith mentor) will use our "Virtual OneWith" Mass Reflection Guide help them reflect on and discuss the various aspects of the liturgy they have just experienced. Teens will also meet virtually with their Disicpleship Group for peer-to-peer discussion and reflection.
- Step #3: Application - Youth will be challenged to apply one aspect of truth, wisdom or understanding gleaned from their reflections to improve their relationship with God and/or impact the world we live in.
