Why should I consider attending a Cursillo Weekend?

 

  • Do you want a deeper, more intimate relationship with Christ?
  • Do you feel like something missing in your life?
  • Do you want to get in touch with your spirituality and get the most out of your faith?
  • Do you really want “to want" to go to Church?
  • Do you know someone who has attended a Cursillo weekend and are wondering if you should too?
  • Do you attend Church regularly but feel you want a greater support network of like-minded Catholics?
  • Do you want to be more involved in your Catholic Christian community?

    If you answer Yes to any of these questions, then Cursillo could be for you.
    Making a Cursillo weekend is a great way to deepen your relationship with Christ. It is transformational… most participants (laity AND clergy) feel renewed and refreshed after the weekend and they feel connected to other participants and to God.

    Cursillo IS:
  • An official CHARISM of our faith

  • Cursillo is an encounter with oneself, Christ, and others. Millions of Catholics worldwide have refreshed their faith through Cursillo.

  • Cursillo is a proven method for finding solutions to the issues faced in our Catholic lives. Call it a spiritual recharge…

  • Cursillo is a proven method for growing and staying in a closer relationship with Christ for the rest of our lives.

  • Cursillo is a proven method to help bring a relationship with Christ to others around you. It teaches you to evangelize our brothers and sisters who may be drifting!

  • Cursillo is a proven method of sharing with others about your daily struggles and triumphs in living out God's plan for your life.

  • Cursillo is rooted in Catholicism; everything is directly based on the teaching of the Catholic Church and Scripture. It is recognized and encouraged by the magisterium of the church including the past several Popes.

    Cursillo IS NOT:
  • Cursillo is not an organization; it is a powerful, worldwide lay movement of the Catholic Church.

  • Cursillo is not just a retreat. Although the first step is a 3-day weekend encounter, the real value begins after attending a weekend.

  • It is not meant to fix individual problems such a drug or alcohol abuse, difficult personal relationships, etc..
