Sign up your child for Totus Tuus, popular weeklong summer program coming to a parish near you

This summer, the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois is excited to host Totus Tuus, a fun and faith-filled experience for children coming once again to several parishes across the diocese in June and July. 

Totus Tuus is a weeklong Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through evangelization, catechesis, and Christian witness. The program inspires in young people a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for daily conversion, and an openness to their vocation. 

Teams of missionaries, comprised of college-aged students and several diocesan seminarians, will travel to a different parish each week, hosting the five-day catechetical program for grades 1-12. The week is filled with faith, fun, and friendship. There are messy games and crazy skits, in addition to daily prayer, eucharistic adoration, learning the sacraments, and going to Mass. The missionaries also provide a witness to being an authentic disciple of Christ. The popular program sees hundreds of children participate every year in the diocese.  

Note, for the schedule below, grades 7-12 are from Sunday-Thursday each week and the program is in the evenings. For grades 1-6, the program is Monday-Friday each week and starts in the morning and finishes in the afternoon. Families will receive the specific start and end times later this spring through the parish communications.
