A week-long Parish Summer Program for children and youth!

Registration: 
Registration is now open for the 2020 Totus Tuus Program! Scroll to the bottom of this page for the online registration form.

What:
Totus Tuus is very similar to vacation bible school, but so much more! Totus Tuus is a summer Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith, which is operated by dozens of dioceses around the nation. This summer we are working with the Archdiocese of Portland.  College students and seminarians are grouped into teams of four, each consisting of two men and two women, who after training are sent to parishes for a week at a time, teaching the parish's 1st - 12th grade youth.  The witness of these young adults who journey with the youth for the week is inspiring, educational, and a lot of fun – including time for the usual songs and games, as we celebrate the gift of growing as disciples of the Lord in our parish community. The program has the added benefit of forming young adults who continue to dedicate themselves to the Church's mission of evangelization. The theme for the Summer of 2020 is the 10 Commandments.  Every year one of the mysteries of the rosary is also highlighted, and this year it will be the Glorious Mysteries.

• Catechesis time with each of the young adults
