Totus Tuus is named after St. Pope John Paul’s papal motto, “Totally Yours” referring to Mother Mary. It signifies our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ through Mary. The theme for this year is The Apostles Creed and the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. This program is a Catholic youth program that is dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the faith through evangelization, catechesis, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. The trained team of young adults puts prayer and catechesis into active learning along with class time, games, songs, skits, and recess. The program is split into the grade school day program and the middle school/high school evening program.
Family participation is vital to keep our youth active in their faith through adulthood. There will be several opportunities for families to be involved in this ministry including providing a meal to the team, volunteering in the classrooms, and volunteering behind the scenes. Families will be invited to attend the St. John the Baptist Feast Day Mass at 5:30 pm, dinner and DJ to follow on Thursday, June 27, to find out what the students are learning and celebrate our parish feast day.
