Cursillo
Pronounced "KUR-SEE-YO"
IT BEGINS with a WEEKEND, a three-day weekend helps you experience your
Catholic faith and encourages a spiritual life that is filled with joy, laughter,
and enthusiasm. You are invited to see an enriched relationship with God within
the framework of a Christian Community.
CURSILLO is based on a method; Expand your prayer life, Have an ongoing
study program, and Share your faith. It provides a two-part method to help
sustain and nurture you.
GROUP REUNIONS; informal gatherings of three to five people who meet regularly
(once a week) to share their faith and support each other in their spiritual life.
ULTREYAS; monthly gatherings of Group Reunions. They share experiences, pray together,
and socialize. Cursillistas share their spirituality and gain insight and ideas
that can enhance their Christian life.
If you wish to attend in a Cursillo Weekend you must have a sponsor who has
been an active Cursillista for at least one year. A sponsor is responsible for
preparing you for the Weekend, establishing you in a Group Reunion where you
live or work, and introducing you to an Ultreya in your area. Separate weekends
are held for men and women. If you are married, both spouses should be willing
to participate. You will receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.
They are an integral part of the Catholic Cursillo.
The group reunion is held in St. Henry's Social Hall each 2nd Saturday of
the month at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.
