WHY ATTEND A CURSILLO?
PEOPLE MAKE A CURSILLO FOR A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT REASONS:
• To learn how to communicate the Good News that God, in Jesus Christ, loves us through friendships.
• To enrich his/her daily spiritual life.
• To learn more about the mission of the Church and how he/she can contribute as a layperson.
• To enable themselves to extend their spiritual practices and beliefs and apply them daily.
• To learn not about 'preaching' the Good News, but about becoming the Good News—witnessing naturally in our daily lives.
• To forge friendships with others who have the same goal of improving the way you live as a Christian in every aspect of your life.
• To enable yourself to develop into a strong leader within your own church.
Cursillo weekends begin on Thursday evening and conclude late Sunday afternoon.
A typical Cursillo weekend brings together approximately 60 participants, comprising ‘candidates’ (guests) and the ‘team.’ The candidates come from diverse backgrounds—some eager for enrichment, others curious, and a few apprehensive. The weekend is led by laypeople and clergy who have previously attended a Cursillo weekend. They guide participants through a series of talks, discussions, meals, fellowship, music, and worship, aiming to address the unique needs of each individual throughout the weekend.
