We were so excited to host Totus Tuus in July 2023!
This is an incredible fun-filled week where college age missionaries and seminarians travel to our parish to teach youth about Christ through prayer, games, songs, and more. Registration will open for 2024 and you can find the forms on this page by clicking the buttons below! Follow our bulletin, newsletter, and social media for more details.
Totus Tuus took place at St. Thomas More School and Church
There are two sessions of Totus Tuus that will occur during the week: An elementary session and a teen session.
The 1st through 6th grade group meets Monday through Friday from 9 am to 2:30 pm. Lunch is not included, please bring a sack lunch.
The 7th through 12th Grade group meets Sunday through Thursday from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Dinner will not be provided except for on Sunday.
We are also in need of several adult and teen volunteers to make Totus Tuus happen. Please consider volunteering for one or more of the following opportunities. See the volunteer button above for more details and to sign up, or contact Religious Education Coordinator, Rachel Bielstein, at the parish office for more information. Her number is 402-556-1456, and her email is rjbielstein@midtowncatholic.church.
Housing: Four young adult missionaries from the Archdiocese visit our parish to put on this program. They need a place to stay while they are here.
Food: Our missionaries need meals provided during the week!
Middle and High school helpers: We encourage youth who attend the evening program to help out during the day program. It’s a great way to earn service hours.
Adult volunteers for the day program: The RE Coordinator needs at least one adult each day helping with the 1st through 6th grade program (supervising doors, sign in, classrooms, lunch). This person must be safe environment trained. Safe environment training is provided by the Archdiocese for no cost, contact Rachel Bielstein at the parish office for more info.
Check out all the fun we had in 2022!
