Cursillo
Cursillo is a movement of the church. Its purpose is to help those in the church understand their individual callings to be Christian Leaders. Many people have said Cursillo provides an important learning experience which causes many to feel like newly made Christians with a purpose and with support.
The three-day weekend experience is not intended to be a conversion experience but an enriching and deepening of what is already there. It often provides new insights into our faith as well as fostering ministry among lay people.
The weekend begins Thursday evening spent in the Chapel with meditations and discussions. Then blessed silence is kept until after the worship on Friday morning. After breakfast participants are assigned to table groups for the weekend. The three days are filled with talks and group discussions with emphasis on the doctrine of Grace, the Sacraments, and the great Cursillo tripod: Piety, Study, and Action. Plus there is fellowship, singing, good food, and time for privacy, meditation, prayer, and walks. Eucharist is celebrated each day.
The Cursillo weekend is not an end to itself.
It is a starting point that lasts the rest of your life and a springboard to a long-range practice of the Baptismal Covenant in the life of the Church called the Fourth Day.
The Group Reunion the heart of Cursillo, is a small group of friends (usually 3-5) who meet weekly, and who hold each other accountable for their spiritual journey.
The Ultreya which is usually held monthly, is a "reunion of the reunions".
