Totus Tuus

Totus Tuus is a great week-long Catholic program to help your children and teens learn more about their faith and grow closer to Jesus through a relationship with his mother, Mary! College-age students travel to various parishes over the summer to offer our youth the chance to see that learning about and celebrating our faith doesn’t have to be boring. They engage students in classes, songs, skits, and games, all while deepening their understanding of the faith and showing them how to live it out day-to-day.

We bet your kids have never had this much fun at church!

Make plans to join us this summer at St. Patrick Church of Merna for another awesome week of Totus Tuus!
