Seeking a renewal of your faith, a deeper relationship with Christ and the support of small group sharing?  

                                                                     
Catholic Cursillo is the answer!

Cursillo, which means "short course in Christianity," is a lay Catholic Movement which began 60 years ago in Spain and is now worldwide. It begins with a 72-hour, three-day weekend where candidates form and live in community with other Catholics and clergy members. The weekend is immersed in Catholic Doctrine and the Sacraments. The first night is a silent retreat and the rest of the weekend includes daily Mass, prayer, rosary, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and 15 Apostolic talks given by laity and clergy. Candidates take part in small discussion groups following each talk. The Sacrament of Reconciliation as well as spiritual direction is available on the weekend.
