Totus Tuus
Totus Tuus, our program replacing Vacation Bible School, will be offered this summer for students grades 1-12. This distinctly and passionately Catholic program will involve young people in various activities with the purpose of guiding them to grow in their faith. During the week there will be time for adoration and confession, skits and songs, catechesis and fellowship, daily Mass and a final Fun Day water fight. Registration is now open, don’t wait because space is limited. For more information email rkenney2@nd.edu.

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
