We are overjoyed to welcome Totus Tuus to our parish! This Catholic youth program shares the Gospel and promotes the faith through Christian witness, evangelization, Mass, and Eucharistic adoration. Totus Tuus teams are college-age men and women who spend their summers visiting parishes throughout the Archdiocese to help young people develop their relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Totus Tuus offers a morning program for students in grades 1-6 and another program in the evening for students in grades 7-12. We have not previously had the resources to offer summer programming for older students, and we are elated that the Totus Tuus team will be here to equip our youth to understand and live their faith.
 

Save the dates: July 17 - 22, 2022

Registration is now closed!

Faith, Fun, & Friends...how can you miss?
Totus Tuus is Latin for "Totally Yours".
It is NEW to SJA!

An exciting week-long in-house summer faith experience for grade school and high school youth from 1st through 12th grade. A team of ArchSPM college-age teachers: two men and two women, generally one of the men is a seminarian, will spend the week with our children to inspire, teach, and lead them in a rich experience of what is it to be Catholic.

Totus Tuus is a Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through catechesis, evangelization, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. The goal of Totus Tuus is to help young people grow in the understanding of and strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ.
