CHARLOTTE — With the school year winding down and summer drawing ever closer, parishes across the Diocese of Charlotte are gearing up for Totus Tuus and Vacation Bible School summer camps.
Now in its 13th year in the diocese, Totus Tuus summer camps are dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith to children in rising first grade through 12th grade using catechesis, evangelization, Christian witness and Eucharistic worship.
“Totus Tuus,” a Latin phrase meaning “totally yours,” was the motto of St. John Paul II.
Taken from St. Louis de Montfort’s “True Devotion to Mary,” it signifies the desire to give oneself entirely to Jesus Christ through Mary.
In addition, many parishes are also planning their annual summer Vacation Bible School for school-aged children. Themes and programs vary from parish to parish. Check with your local parish for more information on how to get involved and sign your children up for faith-filled fun and fellowship.
