VOLUNTEER NEEDED

TOTUS TUUS

Back by popular demand, our parish will be hosting once again a week long summer event for our

youth (July 15-20) called Totus Tuus. Totus Tuus (meaning “Totally Yours”) is a Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through catechesis,

evangelization, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship all within a spirit of fun. Throughout this week,

our youth will experience daily mass attendance, an opportunity for Reconciliation, Liturgy of the Hours,

the Rosary, the Angelus, Marian devotions, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and Adoration of The Blessed

Sacrament.

The week is broken into two age groups: The Junior High and High School Program: (90 youth maximum)

Eligible to attend: Those going into 7th Grade – 12th Grade Fall 2018

Sunday, July 15 – Thursday July 19 from 7:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

Thursday – MUSIC, GAMES, WATER ACTIVITIES, FOOD!!

The Grade School Program: (90 youth maximum)

Eligible to attend: Those going into 1st Grade – 6th Grade Fall 2018

Monday, July 16– Friday, July 20 from 9 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Friday –

OUTSIDE WATER FUN DAY

On Wednesday evening July 18, 2017, all parents will be invited to a potluck dinner in the parish hall so

that they too, can meet the team and witness our youth in Christ-led fellowship.

Our Totus Tuus team (2 men and 2 women) will be college students who have gone through intense

training. They are passionate about their Catholic faith and eager to spread the word of God. After

reading of this God-given opportunity, I know you will agree this is a Holy Spirit led initiative. I am sure

you will also agree, given all our youth have pulling at them; sports, work, gaming systems, internet and

cell phones just to name a few, a few hours dedicated to good Catholic fellowship can be all our youth

need to promote and encourage a continued relationship with Christ and His Church.

This will be a free program for our youth. There will be sign up to help with food. Snacks/drink/

lunches will be provided as well as before/aftercare for the day program. Snacks/drinks for the evening

program will be provided. For our younger youth, this program will replace VBS.

Most importantly, help me pray our youth into a stronger relationship with Christ. Return

your child(ren’s) registration form so that our planning may begin. Please do not hesitate to contact me

if you have any questions or concerns.

In Christ, Judy Kelly (573)253-0244 Pjkellyplus4@gmail.com

bottle in the back of church for anyone who did
