September 2022 Newsletter

The Men's Weekend is just around the corner.  Sept. 22-25, 2022.  PLEASE spread the word to all the men you know and invite them to the cursillo weekend.  The next Women's Weekend will be Oct. 13-16, 2022.  The lay rectors will be Dan Sweet and Shanona Piegat respectively.  
Please consider lending a hand for these weekends.  Go to the website www.cursillogary.com under the "3-Day Weekend" tab where you can sign up under "volunteer".  There's so many ways and days you can be of assistance.  You can choose the day(s) and time(s) you would like to help.  We could really use your assistance.  

Planning the weekends is an ongoing, continuous process.  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:
