Youth Group
DISCIPLESHIP
We are all called to be intentional disciples of Christ, and this is a gathering of young people in our region who have answered that call. We meet every Sunday evening at 7:00.
DAYS OF SERVICE, NIGHTS OF PRAYER
Every June we have our "Days of Service Nights of Prayer" retreat. This will be an overnight retreat for the young people of the Winton Wyoming Pastoral region. We will be staying at one of the parishes overnight. Our days will be spent doing service in the greater Cincinnati area and the evening sessions will be led by the youth team with an occasional special guest! Please contact Dave Nissen with questions or to register.

Totus Tuus
Totus Tuus: Mission and Purpose
Totus Tuus (Latin for “Totally Yours”) is a fun and energetic, weeklong, parish-based summer catechetical program for youth entering 1st-12th grade. Totus Tuus gathers together college students and seminarians onto teams of four and sends them out to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ in various parishes throughout the diocese.
The mission of Totus Tuus is to inspire and equip young people to encounter the truth of Jesus Christ through witnessing a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for daily conversion, and a total openness to their vocation. Participants see this mission accomplished by being challenged to daily give themselves entirely to Christ through the most perfect manner, that is, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. “Totally yours, I give myself to Jesus through Mary.” (Totus tuus, dabo me ad Jesu, per Mariam). Living this mystery calls our youth to become disciples of Jesus Christ by strengthening their prayer lives in imitation of our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Totus Tuus exists to respond to the call of our recent Holy Fathers for a “new evangelization.” It aims to address the problem of the huge number of young Catholics who are leaving the Church at an earlier age than in the past in favor of modern secularism and a life without faith or religion. By providing them with solid catechesis, genuine Christian witness, and—most importantly—an opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ through the Sacraments, Totus Tuus seeks to evangelize young people in a lasting and profound way.Five Pillars of Totus Tuus
These five marks serve as indicators of the Catholicity of the Totus Tuus program. A longing for true holiness, being open to daily conversion, and exploring one’s vocation happen when each of these marks is witnessed by the young people who attend a week of Totus Tuus.
- Catechesis – a comprehensive proclamation of the Gospel and Church teachings
- Eucharistic Devotion – a central focus on Jesus Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist
- Marian Devotion – to inspire all to take Mary as their model and Pray the Rosary
- Vocational Discernment – encouraging youth to discern their vocation through the pursuit of holiness and conversion
- Christian Witness – an experience of joyful Christian living from a team of missionaries
