Totus Tuus – A week of fun, faith, and growth and exploring what it means to be “Totally Yours”!
This past week over 75 children (entering grades 1-12) and youth participated in the Archdiocesan Totus Tuus program – what a great turnout! This past week our young people were inspired to strive for holiness, developed a deep desire to know and be disciples of God, and had opportunities to renew their faith with a stronger prayer life. Our campers participated in skits, games, learned more about our Catholic faith, prayed together, sang songs, celebrated daily Mass, and grew in community. The young church concluded the week with an epic fun Friday – but you’ll have to join next year to find out about Fridays and Totus Tuus!
We are thankful for the gifts our Totus Tuus Mission Team shared with our community and invite you to continue to pray for the ministry they share in our Archdiocese: Dominic, Kathryn, Mary, and Tony (seminarian). Thank you to the many families, youth, and adult volunteers who helped make the week run so smoothly.
May our young church and all of us continue to live lives that reflect Totus Tuus (Totally Yours), one that reflects the love that God has for us and the love we have for one another.
