Cursillo is a Spanish term for “short course in Christianity.” The weekend begins on Thursday night and concludes on Sunday afternoon. It is a laity directed weekend with Clergy advisors and speakers. There are a series of talks given by the laity, and some by Clergy members. Most people find it to be, at some point in the weekend, a spiritual re-awakening; for some, it’s a first step in their spiritual journey; for others, a life-changing experience. |
