HELENA CURSILLO

 
 
 
 
Cursillo (pronounced kur-see-yo) is a Spanish word meaning a "little" course. The"Cursillo de Christiandad" (Spanish for a short course in Christianity) began in Spain in the 1940s and is now found worldwide, even here in Montana. It begins on a Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday about midday. You will listen to a series of talks and have an opportunity to discuss and reflect on the message of the talks in a small group. Chances are, the topics of these talks will not be new but you may find yourself hearing them in fresh, new ways. The joyous thing is that ordinary lay men or women give the talks and, in doing so, share how the things they will speak of relate to their lives and to the everyday lives of Christian lay people everywhere, people like you! You will spend the three days with about 20-30 other lay men or women living in Christian community. All your meals will be provided. Accommodations for any special needs you may have will be made. The Cursillo weekend is a perfect opportunity to relax, to get away from daily distractions, enjoy the fellowship of other Christians, and listen to and reflect on how God is calling you. Sound exciting? We think so, and we are sure you will find it to be one of the best three days you have ever had.

A Cursillo weekend for many is a new awakening to a deeper friendship with Christ.

It won't magically solve the problems of your life. No one will try to convert you.

You are free to make up your own mind about what is presented.
