Discover Cursillo
Message from Bishop Dabrowski
Throughout the history of the Church, the Holy Spirit continually raises up movements and communities that help the faithful to encounter Christ more deeply and live their Baptism with renewed joy and dedication. The Cursillo movement is one such gift to the Church.
Through this 3-day retreat-like experience and ongoing community life, it has helped many discover the love of God in a new way, deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ and become active witnesses to the Gospel in their homes, workplaces, parishes and communities, grounded in the sacraments of Christian initiation and empowered for the mission of evangelizing the world.
The word Cursillo means “little course” but its impact on the lives of the participants is often profound and lasting. The experience invites people to reflect on their faith, to pray, share with others and recognize the call each of us received in Baptism: to be missionary disciples and joyful witnesses of Christ to others.
I warmly invite you to consider this opportunity to seek a deeper relationship with the Lord, a renewed purpose in your faith journey or fellowship with other Catholics striving to live the Gospel, Cursillo may be a grace-filled path for you.
After your Cursillo Weekend:
The Cursillo method encourages participatation in on-going small friendship sharing groups and larger group meetings called Ultreyas. The goal of the movement is that Christ be the prime influence in society. The primary objectives of the Cursillo Movement are to develop in adult Christians a consciousness of their role to bring Christ to their families, as well as to the places where they work and socialize, and to sustain them as they live their journey of faith. Cursillo is a method of growing closer to Jesus through Piety, Study and Action. Its intent is to develop strong Christians who feel the love of Christ and wish to ultimately bring His Good News to others. Thus, Cursillo’s long term purpose is to increase the awareness of the love of Jesus in our environment – at home, work and play.
Bonds are quickly formed. Prayer, song, solitude and fellowship make for a deep spiritual experience that is powerful and positive.
Participation in Cursillo is open to anyone. Applicants are sponsored by another Cursillista.
