WHAT IS CURSILLO? 

• Cursillo (pronounced kur-see-yo) is a Spanish word meaning little course, or short course, in Christianity.
• Cursillo begins with a weekend experience of living in a Christian community.
• Cursillo is a chance to strengthen your relationship with Christ.
• Cursillo is an opportunity to introduce you to a very diverse, national, and international support group of brothers and sisters in Christ.
• Cursillo is simply a method through which one's spirituality may be developed, lived, and shared in any area of human life.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE CURSILLO WEEKEND?

The Cursillo weekend begins on a Thursday evening and ends Sunday night. During these three days, attendees live and work together, listening to talks given by priests and laity. 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 laughter! Eucharist is celebrated each day.

WHO IS CURSILLO FOR?

• Those persons who would like to have a closer experience with Christ.
• Those persons who seek to be in a community that strives to live Christ's values.
• Potential leaders who can influence others.

. . . But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. And His gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ . . .

Ephesians 4:7, 11-12
