Totus Tuus In Your Parish

Totus Tuus is a summer Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through evangelization, discipleship, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship.

OUR MISSION

The mission of Totus Tuus is to inspire in young people a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for daily conversion, and an openness to their vocation by constantly challenging them to give themselves entirely to Christ through Mary and by continually strengthening their prayer lives in imitation of Her.

OUR METHOD

Totus Tuus hires young adults who are passionate about their Catholic faith to serve as summer missionaries and collaborates with parishes to offer week-long parish mission programs designed to teach and inspire children and youth.

OUR MISSIONARIES

Totus Tuus missionaries are carefully selected and trained by the diocese in the Totus Tuus curriculum and mission. The parish commits to providing host homes and meals for the missionaries during their time at the parish. Missionaries provide their own transportation. Pastors and parish staff work with Totus Tuus to ensure a smooth and successful parish mission week.  Learn more about our missionaries, or invite someone to apply to serve as a missionary here.
