I am your Bro. Mario Camorongan, I made my Cursillo on Feb. 14-17, 1986, at Mt. Mary Immaculate in Lafayette, Cursillo #34, Decuria of St. James!
My wife Pat, a sister Cursillista and I are parishioners of Holy Rosary Church in Antioch. Both of us were born and raised in Pangasinan, Philippines. We are blessed with 4 children: Melissa married to Don; Marlene married to Phil, Matthew, and Monica. They are now all young adults. We are active members in our parish as Extra ordinary Ministers and I am a Brother Knight of the Knights of Columbus – Antioch Council of which I was a past Grand Knight. We are also one of the original members of the Most Holy Rosary Fil-Am club, of which I was a past president and whose early beginning was encouraged by Father Carlos Davalos, our parish priest, to bring visibility of the Filipinos and encouraged participation in the church activities. Currently, I work for one of the cities in the Bay Area. In the past 29 years of being a Cursillista, I have served as a Team Representative, an Ultreya Coordinator, Rollista, Den Father, Vice Rector, and eventually the Rector of Cursillo # 47 in 1993. I completed my first term as FCC Lay Director (7/1/12 through 6/30/15) and the community asked me to continue for another term (7/1/15 through 6/30/18) of which I gladly accepted it. I continue to serve and be active in our movement because like a flat tire, I needed that very air to keep me going; like a basket ball, Cursillo gave me that bounce! I serve because I want to continue my spiritual formation, a deepening of my spirituality through the Cursillo journey. I love and revere the Lord and His guidance I seek. I hope to leave that legacy to my children and future grandchildren, because life without faith is meaningless. I want to be a fisher of men, to bring people to God through the Cursillo way: make a friend, be a friend, and bring that friend to Christ. To the end, my wife and I will stay because we cherish the friendships that we developed through the years with many of you in the Cursillo. De Colores! |
