St. Robert Totus Tuus 2026
This summer, our parish was blessed to host our very first Totus Tuus Catholic summer youth program. What a gift it was to witness our parish come alive with the joy of the Gospel.
Led by a team of three energetic missionaries (one being a seminarian for the Diocese of Grand Rapids) Totus Tuus is dedicated to helping young people encounter Jesus Christ and grow in their Catholic faith.
Throughout the week, our grade school and high school students dove deeper into the beauty of the Catholic faith through engaging catechesis centered on the Eucharist, Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, and vocational discernment. Each day included Mass, confession, adoration, lively games, music, skits, prayer, and opportunities to build lasting friendships rooted in Christ.
The name Totus Tuus, meaning "Totally or All Yours," was the personal motto of Pope St. John Paul II, expressing how he completed entrusted himself and his life to Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary. As we watched our young people throughout the week, we were reminded that this is the heart of the Christian life: to belong completely to Christ.
May the seeds planted during Totus Tuus continue to bear fruit, helping each of us who participated to joyfully live out the Gospel with our lives.
