Inspire Evening at St. Teresa of Avila, Auburn
On Saturday, July 8, 2023, our Cursillo Secretariat was allowed to make a presentation to the parishioners of St. Teresa’s who were interested in finding out a little more about our Cursillo charism. We combined this presentation with an ultreya and were blessed to have a total attendance of about 40 people. About 25 Cursillistas came up the mountain to join us at Mass and the ultreya afterwards, and about 15 came from the local parish. Fr. Arbel Cabasagan, the parish priest opened us in prayer. We served pizza and soda to all attendees.
Michael Faber served as MC and keynote speaker, and we also heard presentations from Jeff Williams, Monica Small, Kathy Bauer and her husband Ron, both rector and rectora for this year’s weekend.
WB Heilmann led us in country gospel worship hymns between presentations.
During the entire event, Chris Juten and Manny Duenas prayed for the event and prayed for individuals seeking hands on intercessory prayer. Seven people availed themselves of the opportunity.
Afterward, participants indicated if they were interested in learning more. Two men from Auburn are interested in attending the weekend, and one Auburn lady was interested in joining a womens 4th day group in Rocklin. Several other potential Cursillo weekend prospects drove up to Auburn and solidified their desire to attend a weekend. Overall, it was a joy filled event.
