TOTUS TUUS SUMMER PROGRAM
GRADES 1—12
Dates: July 19-23
Times: 9:00am-2:30pm (Grades 1-6), 7:00pm-9:00pm (Grades 7-12)
What is Totus Tuus? (Latin for Totally Yours) It is a fun and energetic parish-based summer catechetical program, for grade school-age children in grades 1—12. The program is led by a team of four fun, energetic, and faithful college-aged men and women that lead games, songs, prayers, and lessons. The week ends with a huge water fight! The program combines daily Mass, songs, games, Eucharistic Adoration and tons of fun!
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.
