With the October, 2016 approval of the Most Reverend Edward C. Malesic, Bishop of the Diocese of Greensburg, its competent ecclesiastical authority (canons 216, 300; cf. also canon 312), We Are One Body® Radio operates as an official Catholic media outlet from its headquarters in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. We Are One Body® Radio (WAOB®) produces catechetical and contemplative programming. The programming is intended to present the life of the Church in a way that makes the Mystical Body of Christ more apparent: the Pope and bishops united with their priests, in their role as head, working together with the laity in their role as members. The catechetical programming consists of magisterial teaching from the Pope and bishops followed by conversations between priests who explain and elaborate on the magisterial teaching. The We Are One Body® programming also contains broadcasts of lectio divina, led by priests, on Scripture, the writings of the saints, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church; leading listeners to interior silence and contemplation through meditation and prayer. The programming described above is supported by broadcasts of prayer from parishes, families and religious orders, including the Holy Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours, and devotions such as the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet.
