Help Feed our Totus Tuus Missionaries |
|
Four (4) Totus Tuus missionaries will be here June 25 through July 1. They will be engaging with students in a five-day catechetical program filled with faith, fun, friendship, messy games and crazy skits. The college-age teachers will provide an authentic witness to the students and help them learn about their faith in an interactive way.
We're asking parish families to provide lunch and/or dinner for them while they are here. We have several options to make it easy for you:
- Invite them over or take them out!
- Drop off a meal!
- Make a donation!
Thank you for supporting these missionaries as they work with our young people!
