Cursillo is a movement of the Catholic Church which, by means of a specified method, makes it possible for people to live what is fundamental for being a Christian, and to live it together. It helps people discover and fulfill their personal vocations. It promotes the creation of core groups of Christians who leaven their environment with the Gospel. The movement begins with a three-day experience of living Christianity - a "cursillo" (Spanish for short courses) on Catholic doctrine presented in an environment of Christian community. The three days include daily mass, communion and visit to the Blessed Sacrament.
The 3-day weekend starts on Thursday evening and ends on Sunday evening. During the three days, those attending live and the work together listening to talks given by priests and lay persons, and participate in small group discussions. The talks include topics which deal with life, the Christian ideal, the Catholic faith and a method to bring Christ into the modern world. The movement continues with a method of working together to bring other men and women to know and love Christ by forming small support groups which are joined to a larger Christ-centered community.
HOW CAN WE BRING OTHERS TO CHRIST? Most of us have family members, friends, co-workers, or acquaintances. The Bible asks us to share the gospel, and there is no excuse for not doing so (Matthew 28:19-20). We can pray that God would change their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of the gospel; pray that God would convince them of His love for them and their need for salvation through Jesus Christ; prayer for wisdom as to how we can encourage them; and in addition to praying, we must also live godly Christian lives in front of them, so they can see the change God has made in our own lives. Yes, the best thing we can do is pray for them, witness to them, and live the Christian life in front of them. FCC EVENTS National Cursillo Documents Flyers and Memo |
Greatness lies not in struggling hard to make impression nor in trying desperately to be somebody but in humility, by inspiring, encouraging, motivating and helping others to be happy and successful.

We live in a world today, which tries to say too much with too little. Consequently, few listen. Sometimes the best sermons are the ones left unspoken.
