TOTUS TUUS 2022

TOTUS TUUS (Latin for Totally Yours) is a fun and energetic parish-based summer catechetical program for both grade school age children and middle and high school youth. TOTUS TUUS gathers together college students and seminarians from across the United States onto teaching teams of four in order to train them and send them out on the road to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ in various participating parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Denver and sometimes outside the archdiocese. The teachers’ youthfulness, energy, and ability to witness to the Faith make them particularly effective with children and young adults.
