Totus Tuus 2007

What is Totus Tuus?
Totus Tuus is a Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through catechesis, evangelization, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. The goal of Totus Tuus is to help young people grow in the understanding of, and strengthen their faith in, Jesus Christ. It is only by establishing a real and personal relationship with Him that we can be led to the love of the Father in the Spirit and so be made sharers in the life of the Holy Trinity. "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me," (John 4:16). Totus Tuus strives to bring forth a balance between the knowledge of the meaning of the Sacraments and Sacramental Practices, thus bringing our faith alive.

Totus Tuus seeks to foster openness to vocations in the young people we serve as well as among the teachers. This is accomplished by placing special emphasis on the importance and necessity of prayer, Eucharistic devotion, and Marian devotion, in addition to catechetical instruction and formation in the Catholic faith.

Comments from Past Participants


 

The impact of the team members, who were energetic, faithful, and fun role-models, with rock solid teaching was tremendous.  As a DRE/Youth Minister it was a blessing to have them here at St. Peter's Parish.  Seeing the vitality of their faith was inspiring and gives me great hope for the future!

-Phil Lawson - DRE/Youth Minister - St. Peter's Parish 

I believe the Totus Tuus program is something we've needed for a long time.  It is so important for our young people to be exposed to young adults who so passionately live and preach the truth of Christ, and embrace & love his Church.

-Daniel R. Kitzhaber - Youth Minister - St. John/Christ the King Parish

 

 

The team had a great attitude, I wish we had more young adults with their attitude and commitment.
