Welcome from Bishop Eusebio

To all the Cursillistas:

De Colores!  God, in His infinite Love and care for His Church gives his graces and Charismas to men and women in our midst who unfold for us His treasures. Cursillo has been an incredible gift to the Universal Church throughout the World, and I have experienced the benefit of it in my personal life since my childhood in Mexico where my parents where deeply committed with the movement for many, many years with great joy. The Archdiocese of Seattle has enjoyed the wonderful Cursillo Charisma for many years now and hundreds of families have been blessed with authentic endless peace; I pray the Blessed Virgin Mary will give you the strength and docility to keep on ministering in our Archdiocese of Seattle for many years to come. Thank you for all you have done and count on my prayers and support.

Yours in Christ and Our Lady of Guadalupe +,
Eusebio Elizondo m.sp.s., Auxiliary Bishop of Seattle

What is Cursillo?

No one can fully explain how God touches each person in His special and unique way throughout the various elements of the Cursillo Movement. One definition states, "The Cursillo Movement is a movement of the Church which by means of it’s own method makes it possible for people to live what is fundamental for being a Christian, and to live it together; it helps people discover and fulfill their personal vocations, and it promotes the creation of core groups of Christians who leaven their environments with the Gospel.”     more...
