Join us for Totus Tuus 2026, July 5-10, back at Ss. Peter & Paul Parish in Waterloo! Some IC families shared in the faith & fun last summer, and we are so happy to share this opportunity again.

(It’s a blast of an evening program for Grades 7-12, too!)

We invite all students entering grades 1–12 to spend a fun-filled week growing in faith, friendship, and community at Totus Tuus, July 5–10. Enjoy exciting games, delicious food, meaningful prayer, and time with friends while learning more about your Catholic faith.

Ss. Peter and Paul is excited to host Totus Tuus for the second year as part of this diocesan summer program. Whether you attend the evening sessions or volunteer during the day, there is a place for everyone!

Day Program (Grades 1-6)

Monday-Friday 9a.m.- 2:30 p.m.

Evening Program (Grades 7–12):
Sunday–Thursday, 6:30–8:15 p.m.

Students can also earn service hours by volunteering during the daytime program (Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m.).

Registration is now open! We hope you'll join us for an unforgettable week of faith, fun, food, and fellowship.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ —
Right now, I am delighted to be praying for all the Priests, Deacons, Consecrated Religious, and Lay Faithful in Southern Illinois before the Lord of Life as, with all the Bishops, we consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, pour out your love and mercy in abundance on your beloved people in the Diocese of Belleville and throughout this nation. Grant us peace.
With my love and prayers for you all —
Bishop Godfrey, OSB
