SLICEof LIFE Faith and fun

Front row, from left, Sophia Basurto of Sacred Heart in Robbinsdale, Julio Cesar Ocampo Jr. and Noah Ocampo, both of St. Raphael in Crystal, react to a skit performed by missionaries of Totus Tuus (Latin for Totally Yours) July 18 at Sacred Heart. The missionaries, which include young adults from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, lead parish-based summer catechetical programs throughout the archdiocese for elementary and high school youth. This is the third year Sacred Heart has had Totus Tuus, said Morgan Leisgang, who works at the parish and teaches religion at Sacred Heart Catholic School. “It’s been a huge gift to us,” she said of the Totus Tuus program. “The theme this year is the Sorrowful Mysteries (of the rosary) and salvation history. … The kids made a covenant to God this week that they would pray more, learn more and have fun. That’s the summary of what Totus Tuus is: praying more, learning more and having fun.”
