What is Cursillo?
Cursillo (pronounced kur-see-yo) is a Spanish word meaning a “little” course. The “Cursillo de Christianidad” (Spanish for a short course in Christianity) began in Spain in the 1940’s and is now found worldwide.
It begins on Thursday evening and ends Sunday evening. You will listen to a series of talks and have an opportunity to discuss and reflect on the message of the talks in small group.
Separate weekends are held for men and women, but the weekends follow the same format. You will spend the three days with 20-30 other lay men or women living in Christian community. All your meals will be provided. Accommodation for any special needs you may have will be made. The Cursillo weekend is a perfect opportunity to relax, to get away from daily distractions, enjoy the fellowship of other Christians, and listen to and reflect on how God is calling you.
