Totus Tuus missionaries are faith-filled college students and young adults who are willing to give themselves totally to Christ and His Church for the summer, by preaching the Gospel to children and teenagers.

Missionaries must be Confirmed, practicing Catholics who are faithful to the teachings of the Magisterium, willing to live in the community of their team, committed to a personal and communal prayer life, prepared to make sacrifices through a rigorous daily schedule, and also ready to witness through fun.

A Totus Tuus missionary has the tremendous privilege and challenge of spreading the Gospel throughout the diocese to youth and teens. This challenge is accepted with great joy! The teams come to know and love the vitality, faith, and courage of all the youth they encounter.

The youth are seeking not just role models, but heroes  and authentic witnesses who are striving to live and proclaim, “Lord, I will be totally yours”. With joy and honor, Totus Tuus teams serve these youth by accompanying them on this journey while sharing the gifts that God has given them.

Being a Totus Tuus missionary was a great opportunity for me to grow, It was very fulfilling to be able to teach and bless the younger generations. I had an amazing team that supported eachother the whole way through and I'm very greatful for this experience that God has blessed me with.

When I joined the Totus Tuus team, I had absolutely no idea what to expect and was a little nervous to give up so much of my life for something so unknown. But the moment I met my team and we started working with the youth I fell in love with my job and had an absolute blast!
