Totus Tuus, a Latin phrase meaning “totally yours,” was the motto of Blessed Pope John Paul II, it signifies our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ through the hands of our Blessed Mother Mary. It also expresses our effort to give our all to every young person we encounter.

Teams of four, two men and two women, travel to a different parish each week, hosting a five-day catechetical program for grades 1-12, similar to “Vacation Bible School.” The week is filled with faith–sound catechesis with an immersion in the sacraments and personal testimony fun–messy games, crazy skits, silly songs friendship–large and small group activities.
