Welcome Message

Dear Friends in Christ,

Welcome to our Cursillo website! We are delighted that you are here, and hope this site will serve as a valuable resource and a source of inspiration for your spiritual journey.

Cursillo, which means "short course" in Spanish, is a movement within the Catholic Church that seeks to deepen your relationship with Christ and with one another. It’s a time of reflection, renewal, and rekindling of faith through a series of talks, discussions, and experiences that highlight the beauty of our Christian community.

What makes Cursillo truly special is its ability to transform lives. Over a few days, participants experience a profound sense of God’s love and grace, often developing lifelong friendships and a renewed commitment to living out their faith in everyday life. The joy, support, and encouragement found within the Cursillo community are unparalleled.

For those who have experienced Cursillo, you know the profound impact it can have. It’s more than just a weekend with Christ; it’s a launching pad for a more vibrant and committed Christian life. If you’ve been away for a while, we invite you to rediscover the beauty and fellowship that Cursillo offers. Your presence and unique gifts are missed and can greatly contribute to enriching our community.

For newcomers, we extend a warm invitation to join us on this incredible journey. Cursillo is an opportunity to explore your faith more deeply, to connect with others who share your passion for Christ, and to grow in ways you might never have imagined. Through a Cursillo Weekend you will encounter a new joy in your faith, a deeper connection to Christ and the Church, and a supportive community that will walk with you on your spiritual path. Whether you are reconnecting or discovering Cursillo for the first time, we are here to support you and welcome you with open arms.

Explore our website, reach out to me with any questions, and consider participating in our upcoming events and activities. Cursillo is a gift. Become involved. Together, let’s renew our spirits and strengthen our bonds in the love of Christ.

De Colores!
