Totus Tuus Summer 2023

Nativity of Mary is teaming up with St. Edwards again this summer to offer Totus Tuus!  Totus Tuus (Latin for Totally Yours) is a fun and energetic parish based summer teaching program run by college students and seminarians.  Their youthfulness, energy, and ability to witness to the faith make their teaching particularly effective with children and teens! 

Totus Tuus will take place Monday, June 19 - Friday, June 23. We will be offering a daytime session for children entering grades 1st-6th in the fall of 2023  and an evening youth group style session for teens entering 7th-12th grade in the fall of 2023. More details and registration below!

Nativity is thrilled to be offering this awesome program this summer, but in order to make it happen we need your help! Below are three ways that you can support Totus Tuus and the youth of Nativity. 

1. Volunteer - Totus Tuus will be June 19-23.  Totus Tuus missionaries run all the fun activities including music, skits, outdoor games, prayer and more! Volunteers are needed to guide and assist the students. This role is open for Adults, High Schoolers, and Middle Schoolers.  If you are interested in helping out for one day or the whole week click here to sign-up. If you have any questions contact Kelly Schumacher in the parish office at: kschumacher@nativitybloomington.org

2. Provide a meal for Totus Tuus Missionaries - While the Totus Tuus Missionaries are here we are responsible for providing lunch and dinner for them each day.  

• Lunch- drop off lunch for 4-5 people at 11:30 at St. Edwards (please make sure the lunch doesn't require prep for the missionaries). 
• Dinner- host the missionaries for dinner at your home one of the nights. 

If you are interested in providing a meal for the missionaries please contact Kelly Schumacher at kschumacher@nativitybloomington.org

3. Pray - Please keep the missionaries and students attending Totus Tuus in your prayers! 

4. Donate - Consider making a monetary donation that will go towards dinners for missionaries and/or snacks for students throughout the day. Any amount is appreciated! If you are interested in helping in this way, please contact Kelly Schumacher in the parish office at: kschumacher@nativitybloomington.org
