Mission:
The mission of Totus Tuus is to inspire in young people a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for daily conversion, and an openness to their vocation by constantly challenging them to give themselves entirely to Christ through Mary and by continually strengthening their prayer lives in imitation of Her.
Method:
Totus Tuus calls upon college students and seminarians from the Catholic Diocese of Joliet and across the United States to carry this mission to every young person they encounter. Totus Tuus leaders are hired for their energy, enthusiasm, love for the faith, commitment to spiritual growth, ability to work with a team, and desire to work with youth. Leaders are trained, grouped into teams of four, and sent out to a different parish every week for six weeks, where they conduct a week-long "parish mission,” teaching and inspiring the parish’s youth. It is through the teams’ example of authentic Christian living, centered on prayer and the sacraments, that they are able to be witnesses. "Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses” (Evangelii Nuntiandi, 41). The youth see that these teachers who are joyful and on fire with the Catholic faith and long for the same thing in their lives. Additionally, the daily schedule of Totus Tuus revolves around the Mass, the Sacraments, and prayer. A summer given entirely to God and the young people of the Catholic Diocese of Joliet would not be possible otherwise.
The Five Pillars of Totus Tuus:
1. The Eucharist 2. Marian Devotion 3. Catechetical Instruction 4. Vocational Discernment
We are here to serve you, and help you feel at home in our parish family.
The office is located at the St. John Paul II West Campus.
