Totus Tuus is a summer Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through evangelization, catechesis, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. Our week-long Parish Summer Catechetical Program and Summer Camps assist parents and parishes in the evangelizing and catechizing of their youth by supplementing the work they are already doing. The methodology, structure, content, and enthusiasm of Totus Tuus is concerned not only with teaching the faith, but also igniting the hearts of the team members and young people. The result has been the formation of young adults who continue to dedicate themselves to the Church’s mission of evangelization.
Each Totus Tuus team consists of four members: two men and two women. The missionaries are chosen based upon their desire to teach the faith, love of children, energy, enthusiasm, and for their individual leadership skills. In order to run a week of Totus Tuus Summer Program smoothly, the missionaries adhere to a well-defined schedule which has as its foundation rooted in structured prayer life.
Pray Daily and frequent the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist.
As a Totus Tuus Missionary, you will pray the Liturgy of the Hours, a daily rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy, as well as attend daily Mass and weekly Adoration.
Sacrifice for Others
By being “Totus Tuus” you will need to put the needs of others before your own, particularly those of the youth that you will encounter this summer.
“The Self lives only by dying, finds its identity and its happiness only be self-forgetfulness, self-giving, self-sacrifice, and agape love.”
Peter Kreeft
