Totus Tuus is Latin for TOTALLY YOURS
This is a Summer Catechetical Program for Children
TOTUS TUUS is a Diocesan program that gathers together college
students and seminarians onto teams of four each and sends them out
to parishes to spread the GOOD NEWS of our LORD among children and
youth. For elementary school children the program consists in
catechetical instruction, songs, games, daily Mass, the Sacrament of
Reconciliation, lunch, recess and more. TOTUS TUUS balances strong
catechetical content with having FUN!!!! The goal of the
program is to help them to know the LORD and love him more deeply.
Because of the youthfulness and energy of the teachers the children
have FUN as well!
The children are asked to bring any recess equipment they may
want to use for recess. All are invited to a parish “potluck” on
Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m. to meet the team, learn about the
content of the program, ask questions, and hear the children sings
some songs.

setting for this year’s VBS. This exciting get together has
something for everyone in the community to LOVE. Kids will be
creating, running, jumping, and FOLLOWing with action-packed games;
singing amazing new songs; and SHARE-ing the good news with everyone
they meet.

about being part of a community, CARE-ing for others, learning about
the Bible, and having fun, of course!
