What does a Totus Tuus Missionary Do?
As missionaries we bring others to know Christ through a unique way: teaching. We teach students across the Diocese of Tyler about the Catholic faith and
Marian Devotion.
What do we look for in a Totus Tuus Missionary?
We are looking for devout practicing Catholic young adults (over 18 years old), that are open to learning and experiencing the faith. We are looking for someone who can work well with others and within a team. We are looking for someone who wants to teach children and youth about the faith. Lastly, we are looking for someone who is striving for holiness.
