The next Men's Weekend will be Sept. 22-25, 2022 and the next Women's Weekend will be Oct. 13-16, 2022. The lay rectors will be Dan Sweet and Shanona Piegat respectively.
Please tell all of the men and women that have touched your life about cursillo and how truly life changing these weekends can be.
Planning for the fall 2022 Weekends is under way and we need all the help we can get especially assistance with meals, set up and clean up! Please consider a Cursillo Ministry to help others find the joy and fire in their hearts for Jesus! We really need your help. There are many areas that could use Leaders and helpers in many different ways. Please consider this when deciding on ways to help. You can help for just a couple of hours or be a part of a committee! Being a part of the Cursillo Movement is a true and real ministry. Many hands are needed. If you can help, please contact Gabrielle (Gabe) Cubberley at gabecub@gmail.com. Here is a list of the teams and the work they do:
Pre-Cursillo Team - outreach and information about the Cursillo Movement
*Parish liaisons - current cursillista to be a contact person in their parish for outreach and promotion of the Cursillo Movement and for recruitment of potential candidates
