"Do not be afraid of Christ! Trust Him completely! He alone 'has the words of eternal life.' Christ never lets us down!" --St. John Paul II |
TOTUS TUUS is a summer catechetical program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through catechesis, evangelization, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. "TOTUS TUUS" was a motto of Blessed John Paul II that means "Totally Yours." As Catholics we must strive to become totally Mary's in order to become totally Christ's. When we entrust ourselves to Our Lady, she will always lead us to her Son!
The goal of TOTUS TUUS is to help young people develop their relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to become saints! TOTUS TUUS strives to help young people to know and love their faith so that they may live it in today’s world. We do this in such a way that it is fun and formative for both teachers and youth alike.
The program calls upon college students and seminarians from across the United States to carry out this mission. Those hired are trained and put onto teams of four (two men and two women) to go out into a parish for a week, putting on a "parish mission" in order to teach the faith and inspire the young. A TOTUS TUUS teacher helps to make the faith real to the youth as a way of life and love and not simply a set of rules and obligations, while growing in his or her own life of discipleship.
