Totus Tuus Domi 2020

Totus Tuus Domi

Totus Tuus is latin for “Totally Yours”. It was St. John Paul II’s episcopal and then later papal motto. This title has been used for the last 25 years for our diocesan summer camp that has inspired many young people in our diocese to hear and answer God’s call to priesthood and religious life. This year due to the restrictions of Covid-19 we have postponed summer camp to next summer, but want to invite families to join us for a special Totus Tuus experience at home! Domi is the Latin root for words like domestic or domicile and means “at home”! In a special way, we’ve had the opportunity the last few months to live out the call the Catholic Church gives us to make our homes a “domestic church”. It was St. John Paul II who also said that the family is the seedbed of vocations so it seems particularly fitting in this time to have our Totus Tuus Vocations camp happening in our homes with our families.

This year our Totus Tuus Domi theme is “Chosen and Called.” Camp will be centered around the TV show The Chosen about the calling of Jesus’s first disciples. Campers and families will be encouraged to watch a specific episode each day. The activities and challenges for “camp” will be based on these episodes. Things that have become a hallmark of camp such as liturgy of the hours, testimonies, scavenger hunts and competitions will still be a part of Totus Tuus Domi. In addition, we will be posting daily challenges, interactions with social media and using live and recorded videos to encourage and get involved with each other. And, as always, there will be plenty of fabulous prizes involved!

We are excited to share many aspects of camp that they don’t usually participate in with our families. At the same time, the content and activities are made in such a way that individual campers can be fully involved and participating.

The goal of Totus Tuus is always to expose our youth to vocations and the voice of Christ so that when He calls them, they know and heed his voice. Please pray for this year in these unprecedented times that camp will continue to be fruitful. Mother Mary, Queen of Vocations we are Totus Tuus -TOTALLY YOURS!
