Cursillo

Cursillo is an abbreviation of Cursillos de Cristiandad, short course of Christianity. The cursillo focuses on showing Christian lay people how to become effective leaders over the course of a three-day weekend. The weekend includes fifteen talks, some given by priests and some by lay people. The major emphasis of the weekend is to ask participants to take what they have learned back into the world. Participants experience the joy of being part of a Christian community in our parish and encourage growth. “Make a friend, be a friend, and bring a friend to Christ” is the motto.
