Totus Tuus SAVE the Date! June 2nd-7th.
Registration starts early April and tickets will be $35 per individual and $70 per family.
Totus Tuus (“Totally Yours” in Latin) Our Mission: To gather college students and seminarians into teaching teams, and train them in service to God, drawing them closer to Our Lord through prayer, devotion, knowledge, and Christian formation. To send these teaching teams to inflame the hearts and minds of children and young adults by inspiring in the youth 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 in imitation of the motto of Pope St. John Paul II, “Totus Tuus Maria” (Totally Yours, Mary). To impart an understanding of the Catholic Faith and an ongoing change of heart in all the youth of Totus Tuus through faithful catechesis.

The Pueblo Diocese is bringing Totus Tuus to Corpus Christi Catholic Church! The faith filled hearts that the Holy Spirit has inspired in the leaders within the Totus Tuus program have inspired many for years. If your child has not tried this program out yet, this is their year! If you have experienced Totus Tuus, we cannot wait to have you back! We accept grades 1st-6th for the Grade School Program from 9:00 am-2:30 pm (June 3rd-7th) and 7th-12th grade for the Middle/High School Program from 7:00 pm-9:00 pm (June 2nd-6th) at Corpus Christi Catholic Church.
Our Motivation: Pope St. John Paul II’s motto is taken from St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion to Mary, and it signifies our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus through Mary. It also expresses our effort to give our all to every person we encounter. Through the teachers’ examples of joy and service, the youth see that these young men and women are ON FIRE with the love of God and the Catholic Faith, and long to spread that fire to them.
Our Method: Totus Tuus programs exist in dioceses throughout the country. Each program is run independently. Totus Tuus Pueblo calls upon college students and sometimes diocesan seminarians to work in tandem to carry this mission to every person they encounter in the parish program. In hiring our teachers, we look for a true love of God, faith, energy, and enthusiasm. We also look for a commitment to spiritual growth, teamwork skills, and a desire to serve the youth. Teachers are formed into teams of four, two men and two women, and bring the program to different parishes each week for 8 weeks during the summer. At the parish, they conduct a week-long “parish mission,” teaching and inspiring the parish’s children and teenagers.
