SUMMER CAMPS
TOTUS TUUS
(Latin for “Totally Yours”) is a summer catechetical youth program that combines Catholic religious instruction and FUN!!! A team of college-age students and seminarians are coming to our parish the week of June 19-24. The youthfulness and energy of these teachers is an inspiring way to share the faith and their enthusiasm is contagious, so come out and join us!!! TOTUS TUUS is Monday-Friday 9:00 am-2:30 pm for school children going into grades 1-6. The day includes catechetical instruction, songs, and skits that are silly but teach serious stuff encounters with the sacraments – particularly Confession and Eucharist, and time for games and recess. For junior high and high school youth, TOTUS TUUS is Sunday-Thursday 7:00 pm-9:00 pm with more in-depth discussions on our theme. There is no cost for families, but we are looking for people to volunteer to provide dinners and monetary donations for the other meals for the missionaries. We thank you all in advance for your usual generosity!
