About us

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 develop their relationship with Jesus Christ so that there is an intimate friendship whereby he may lead them to the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit.

To accomplish this, we emphasize a devotion and love for our Lord in the Eucharist and for Mary our Mother. We strive to help young people understand their faith through catechesis so that they may live it in today’s world.  We do this in such a way that it is fun for both teachers and youth alike.

A TOTUS TUUS teacher helps to make the faith real to the youth as a way of life and love and not simply as a set of rules and obligations.

Each Totus Tuus team consists of two young men and two young women. Teaching for Totus Tuus is a very rewarding experience. Qualifications needed to teach are:    
    1. A commitment to the Catholic faith.   
    2. Desire to teach the faith.    
    3. Love of children as well as energy, enthusiasm and leadership abilities.

Totus Tuus Mission:  

• To gather college students and seminarians from across the United States onto teams, training them in service to God, drawing them closer to Our Lord through prayer, devotion, knowledge, and Christian formation.
• To use these teams to inflame the hearts and minds of children and young adults through inspiring in them a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for conversion, and by empowering them to become Christian leaders by dedicating their lives totally to God and to live a life imitating the motto of John Paul II, "TOTUS TUUS" (Totally Yours).
• To impart an understanding of the Catholic Faith and an ongoing change of heart in all the participants of TOTUS TUUS through a solid catechesis on the Virtues and Beatitudes and the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary.
