Holy Trinity: Totus Tuus Summer Youth Program 

DOWNLOAD 2023 REGISTRATION FORM

Dates: June 19-23 - Holy Trinity Elementary School

(Grades 1-12)

What is Totus Tuus?
Totus Tuus is a week-long fun, faith filled summer catechetical program dedicated to the youth with the mission to evangelize and teach the faith of the Church.

Totus Tuus is Latin for “Totally Yours” and is the motto for Pope St. John Paul II. The phrase is taken from St. Louis de Montfort’s great work, True Devotion to Mary, and it represents our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ through the hands of his Immaculate Mother.

Who will be teaching our youth?
Totus Tuus gathers together missionaries (college students and seminarians from our very own diocese) onto “teams” of four. These teams tour the Diocese throughout the summer, evangelizing and INSPIRING all those they encounter.

General Program Info:
The programs are divided into morning sessions for grades 1-6 and evening sessions are for grades 7-12.

Grades 1-6: The daytime program is for those going into grades 1-6 and consists of games, catechesis, songs, Holy Mass, and an exciting end-of-the-week water fight! The daytime program runs from 9:00am to 2:30pm. Plan to bring a sack lunch Monday-Thursday, snacks and beverages are provided.

Grades 7-12: The evening program is for those going into grades 7-12 and consists of social time, small group discussion, games, Eucharistic adoration, Confession, and great talks by the Totus Tuus team members. This evening program runs from 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM. 

Parish: The whole parish, however, is blessed by the missionary efforts of the Totus Tuus team! There are opportunities for our entire parish to be part of this week-long program in different ways (see registration form for volunteer opportunities). The teams stay with parish host families for the week and share their mission with everyone they meet. There will also be a Parish Potluck on Wednesday evening of each week starting at 6:00 PM. What a great opportunity to bless our parish by bringing our entire parish family together!
