“Cursillo De Cristiandad”; A Short Course in Christianity
Interested in Attending a Weekend?
4th Day Member?
Cursillo is not an organization. It is a worldwide lay movement within the Catholic Church.
The mission of the Cursillo is exactly the same as the Church’s - Evangelization! To help Christianize the world by living out what is Fundamental to Being a Christian in our everyday lives.
What is Cursillo?
“At a time when our people are pulled in so many directions; at a time when so many are seeking a deeper relationship with God; at a time when so many need good Christian friends to find strength and encouragement; Cursillo is well suited to meet those many needs.
— Most Reverend James V. Johnston Jr, DD, JCL, Bishop of Kansas City-St. Joseph
