General Announcements 

College students sought to teach Totus Tuus summer youth program

Totus Tuus is seeking college students to teach its 2026 summer program for youths in first through 12th grade at six archdiocesan parishes from June 7-July 25. The deadline to apply is April 15.

Totus Tuus is a summer Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through evangelization, catechesis, Christian witness and eucharistic worship. Its weeklong Parish Summer Catechetical Program assists parents and parishes in evangelizing and catechizing their youths by supplementing the work that parents and parishes are currently doing.

The methodology, structure and content of Totus Tuus are concerned not only with teaching the faith, but also with igniting the hearts of the team members and the young people they encounter. The result has been the formation of young adults who continue to dedicate themselves to the Church’s mission of evangelization, along with many vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

Applicants for this paid position must be a college student, a practicing Catholic, have received the sacrament of confirmation, have a reasonably good knowledge of the Catholic faith (training is provided) and have a desire to work with youths.

They must be willing to learn and experience the faith, work with a team, respect team dynamics, strive for a stronger prayer life, teach children and travel by car to six archdiocesan parishes throughout the summer.

Missionaries are chosen based upon their desire to teach the faith, love of children, energy, enthusiasm and for their individual leadership skills. To run a week of the Totus Tuus Summer Program smoothly, missionaries adhere to a well-defined schedule rooted in a structured prayer life.

Training starts on May 27, and a short break will take place in early July.

For more information about Totus Tuus in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, go to www.archindy.org/totustuus or contact Anita Bardo at 317-236-1466 or abardo@archindy.org. To apply, go to totustuus.church/be-missionary, scroll down and click on the photo for “New Missionary” or “Returning Missionary.”
