Our
Vision for the Future
Currently,
Totus Tuus operates a retreat
house, church and children’s
hospice in Bogotá, Colombia.
With the help of generous
and faithful donors, a new
hospice is currently under
construction that will expand
the number of beds available
so Totus Tuus can help 70
to 100 children per year.
Additionally, a chapel and
underground burial chamber
are being built.
Totus Tuus’s vision is to
expand our programs to other
Latin American countries,
the United States and other
countries around the world
to reach children who are
terminally ill and have been
abandoned. To spread this
vision and build more civilizations
of love around the world,
we need your help.
Please

Our
Founding Principles
The Secular Association
Totus Tuus and its members
are faithful to the Catholic
Church and loyal to the teaching
of the Magisterium. Thus,
we know the importance of
being part of Christ’s mystical
body. Jesus gives all his
members, laity included (cf.
LG 34), the capacity of offering
through their lives that
worship which he himself
called “worshipping the Father
in Spirit and truth.” (Jn
4:23)
According to the second
Vatican Council, in this
transcendent priestly reality
of Christ’s mystery, the
laity is called to offer
their whole lives as a spiritual
sacrifice, thus cooperating
with the entire Church in
the Redeemer’s continual
consecration of the world.
This is the laity’s great
mission:
“For all their works,
prayers and apostolic endeavors,
their ordinary married
and family life, their daily
occupations, their physical
and mental relaxation,
if carried out in the Spirit,
and even the hardships
of life, if patiently borne—all
these become ‘spiritual
sacrifices acceptable to
God through Jesus Christ.’
Together with the offering
of the Lord’s body, they
are most fittingly offered
in the celebration of the
Eucharist. Thus, as those
everywhere who adore in holy
activity, the laity consecrates
the world itself to God.”
(cf. LG 34; CCC 901)
