Cursillos in Christianity

After the Cursillo Weekend

​

We realize that the essential mission of the Church is to evangelize and that each baptized has a mission to fulfill. Becasue their place in the world as laypersons, all are called to personify Christ in all the environments where our lives takes place. Therefore we offer two important tools to assist each person, and one for those willing to commit with the Movement organization

Friendship Group Reunion

 

Small group of Cursillo friends that meet on a regular basis to share in a prayer disposition with one another the growth that has taken place in each one. All share their spiritual growth and their becoming a person who strives to bring a Christ-like attitude to their environments.

​

​

Ultreya

 

It is the periodic reunion of group reunions, where all cursillistas attend to live in common their life and faith.

Ultreya is the word used by the "Camino de Santiago" pilgrims to provide support and encouragement during the journey

School of Leaders

 

Its purpose is to empower Cursillistas who will then be better prepared to serve the movement, nourish and enliven their 4th day community. The Purpose of the School of Leaders is to help sustain, test and encourage all the Group reunions; to prepare for and perfect the Ultreyas; to train leaders and to start them off; and to introduce people from the Pre-Cursillo into the Post-Cursillo by means of the three days.  The School of Leaders is not established to do things, but to “be” something- a community of service to the Cursillistas, especially in the Post-Cursillo.  Lay team members are ideally chosen from the School of Leaders by the rector/a or from their School group reunion.
