What is Totus Tuus?
TOTUS TUUS (Latin for Totally Yours) is a fun and energetic parish based summer catechetical program for both grade school age children and middle and high school youth. TOTUS TUUS gathers together college students and seminarians from across the United States onto teaching teams of four in order to train them and send them out on the road to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ in various participating parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Denver. The teachers’ youthfulness, energy, and ability to witness to the Faith make them particularly effective with children and young adults.
The grade school program is designed for children going into 1st through 6th grades in the upcoming school year. the program runs during the day, Monday – Friday 9:00 AM - 2:30 PM. The day includes catechetical instruction, daily Mass, songs, games and recess.
Instruction for junior high youth (grades 7th-8th) and high school youth (grades 9th-12th). These groups meet Sunday - Thursday in the evenings 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM. The program is comprised of instruction, small group discussions, quiet meditation, prayer, and fellowship. The junior high students will join the high school students for the evening program; however, when possible, classes will remain separate to maintain an atmosphere and discussion level that is appropriate for both ages.
