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. Teams of college students and seminarians host a five-day catechetical program for grades 1-6 during the day, similar to “Vacation Bible School," and an evening program for students in Grades 7-12. The week is filled with faith, fun, and friendship. There are messy games and crazy skits.
Totus Tuus, a Latin phrase meaning “Totally Yours,” was the motto of Pope Saint John Paul II. Taken from St. Louis de Montfort’s “True Devotion to Mary” phrase, it signifies our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ through Mary.
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 the constant challenge to give themselves entirely to Christ through Mary, and by continually strengthening their prayer lives in imitation of Her.
