Totus Tuus of ArchKCK

Totus Tuus, a Latin phrase meaning “Totally Yours,” was the motto of Pope Saint John Paul II.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Totus Tuus is a summer Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic Faith through evangelization, catechesis, 
Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. Our week-long Parish Summer Catechetical Program assists parents and parishes in the evangelizing and 
catechizing of their youth by supplementing the work they are currently doing.

Totus Tuus calls upon college students and seminarians from across the US to carry this mission to every young person they encounter. These 
young men and women are hired for their energy, enthusiasm, love of the Faith, commitment to spiritual growth, ability to work with a team and a desire to 
work with youth.

   

“Past missionaries have said how vital Totus Tuus has been in their discernment, so we really try to encourage them to embrace the Totus Tuus way of life for the summer and be open to whatever God has in store for them.”     Pam Riordan, Children's Catechesis Consultant at the Archdiocese of KCK

MISSION

The mission of Totus Tuus is to inspire in young people a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for daily conversion and an openness to their vocation by the constant challenge to give themselves entirely to Christ through Mary and by continually strengthening their prayer lives in imitation of Her. Through the teams’ example of joy and service, the youth see that these men and women are on fire with the Catholic Faith and long for the same thing in their lives.
