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.
OneWith uses a "Teaching Mass" format to systematically unpack the histories and mysteries of Catholic liturgy to reveal the beauty, wisdom and grace of this powerful Sacrament.
For most Catholics, the Sunday Mass is the primary way we practice our faith. But how much do we really understand about this ancient and highly symbolic form of worship?
- Youth are mentored and participate in a wide variety of liturgical ministries.
- Youth engage in theological reflection and practical application of Sacred Scripture and Catholic doctrine.
- Youth are guided and encouraged to actively engage with the liturgy through spoken/sung responses, prayer and intentional meditation on Catholic signs and symbolism.
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!
The Mass is an inexhaustible Mystery… This concept was not designed just for teens alone.
We passionately believe that everyone can benefit from a deeper understanding and reflection on Sacred Scripture, Catholic liturgy, and the Sacrament of the Eucharist!
Everyone is invited to participate in this unique worship and learning format. The OneWith formation team has developed reflection materials specifically for groups of adults and families to reflect on the gospel in a deeper more intentional way.
OneWith Teaching Mass Sessions run from 5:45 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. (approx. 2 Sunday evenings a month)!
Youth Make-up options for missed OneWith Sessions:The strength of our formation for high school aged youth is in the shared witness and reflection of the gospel and our lived Catholic experience that happens in their peer “Discipleship Groups”. It is no coincidence that this is the same method that Jesus used to form his disciples. This is why we place such a premium on our youth’s participation in their Discipleship Groups!
However, we acknowledge the reality of illness, family emergencies, etc. Though less than ideal, for any youth that misses a OneWith Session, we offer the following alternatives to deepen their understanding of gospel and/or their Catholic faith:
