During the five-day conference, the youth learned about their Catholic faith through sessions of catechesis, liturgical and spiritual formation and participation in liturgies. They also were trained in liturgical ministries such as lector, Eucharistic minister and cantor, learning skills that they can use in their parishes and high schools.

The One Bread, One Cup conference is held three times each summer as a program of St. Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology. The school is operated by the Benedictine monks of St. Meinrad Archabbey and offers initial and continuing education for priests, permanent deacons and lay ministers.
