Drive Home the Importance of the Mass to Your Teens
BEFORE They Drift Away from the Faith
By presenting the Church’s teaching on the Eucharist and the Mass in a clear and compelling way, we can begin to turn the tide.
We can clearly see that those who know what the Church teaches are more likely to believe it.
And those who believe in Christ’s presence in the Eucharist are more likely to value the Mass as their opportunity to receive him.
This is why we created Altaration: The Mystery of the Mass Revealed.
In the program, Mark Hart shares his testimony about the Eucharist.
He shares how a single moment of openness allowed God to enter his heart and his life in a powerful and transformative way.
Your teens can experience that for themselves.
The news is sobering. In America, we’re seeing a steep drop-off in Christianity. Take a look for yourself.
(That red line above is "Practicing Christian.")
According to Barna, in 2009, 50% of Americans identified as “Practicing Christian.” Only 25% said that “faith is very important in their lives and have attended church within the past month.”
Sadly, this news isn’t that surprising.
It was only recently that we heard about a Pew Study that revealed only 31% of Catholics believe in Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist.
So what is going on here?
Are we seeing Catholics outright reject the Church’s teaching? No. If you look closely at the Pew Study, you’ll see something else.
“Most Catholics who believe that the bread and wine are symbolic do not know that the church holds that transubstantiation occurs.”
This is why we created Altaration: The Mystery of the Mass Revealed.
In the program, Mark Hart shares his testimony about the Eucharist.
He shares how a single moment of openness allowed God to enter his heart and his life in a powerful and transformative way.
Your teens can experience that for themselves.

Best explanation of what the Mass is about I’ve ever seen!!
We ordered this and did it as a study with our High School Youth Group. Amazing!! The format is spot on. Read, watch a short video, journal, discuss. Not only was this very informative, but the presentation and cinematography kept all our teens engaged. That’s a big plus for teens who are constantly on their phones. The discussion questions were a great jumping off point. They make you think, and we had several discussions springboard from them. My husband (a cradle Catholic) and I (a convert) both learned so much about the WHY of all the parts of the Mass, and the rich symbolism of even processing into church and genuflecting. It was wonderful to share with our teens, and we have passed on the information learned to help our own children understand and love our Faith. A must watch for all Catholics!
