Parish Coordinators play a crucial role in the success of Totus Tuus! They are responsible for coordinating promotion and registration of the program, overseeing the use of facilities, and providing for the needs of the missionary team.
To equip Parish Coordinators with everything they need, we have created a Parish Information Binder that covers the whole scope of their role, every step of the way. Throughout the year, we have two Archdiocesan Totus Tuus Coordinators who are available to assist in planning the camp at the parish level: Gabe Marania at the Office of Vocations and Courtney Hennessy at the Office of Catholic Youth. It is important that we have accurate contact information for the Totus Tuus Coordinator of your parish. Please contact youth@ocytoronto.org to provide this information if we don't already have it.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
-
Scheduling a priest(s) for daily Mass and Confession
-
Providing snacks for the evening program
