Cursillo Ministry

A Short Course in Living the Christian Life

 

The Cursillo Movement (from the Spanish word “Cursillo,” meaning “short course”) is a short course in living what is fundamental to being a Christian . Through a three-day retreat experience, participants encounter Christ , themselves , and others —renewing their understanding of God’s love and their call to live as authentic disciples in the world.

 

Mission & Vision

 

To help Catholics deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ and live their faith joyfully and courageously in everyday life. The movement encourages each participant to become a witness of Christ , bringing the Good News to family, work, and community.

 

How It Works

 

The Cursillo weekend provides a foundation for a life centered in Christ and the Church. Participants grow through prayer, reflection, and fellowship—discovering how to:

 

• Live fully as Christian disciples
• Experience the joy of friendship and community
• Be strengthened for mission and evangelization in the world

 

After the weekend, members continue to live out their faith through ongoing friendship groups and reunions , supporting one another in their spiritual journey.

 

The Spirit of Cursillo

 

Cursillo is rooted in friendship , prayer, and service. It provides both a method and community support to live out our baptismal call—to bring Christ to others through word and action.
