What is Cursillo?
The Cursillo is both a movement and a method. The purpose of the movement is to create small groups of Christians that will evangelize their environment with the Gospel spirit. The purpose of the method is to help persons to live what is fundamental for being a Christian by committing themselves to the spiritual aids the Church offers in order to grow in Piety, Study, and Action. More information can be found at the National Cursillo Web Site.

Witnesses
Cursillo was the beginning of Life with Christ for me. Before Cursillo, like most people I thought I knew everything. When I made Cursillo#101 in may of 2005, I found out that I really didn't know much. But Cursillo did supply me with the "tools" to learn it all. These "tools" which we all have are just like all the rest of the "tools" that we posses, if we don't use them they don't work. Cursillo offers a method for us to use these "tools". Having used my "tools" for four years now I still don't know everything, but, I know a lot more now, than I did back then about living what JESUS CHRIST expects of me. H/T Cursillo Community invites You to realize and maintain your "tools".Kearn Chouest, Jr. #101
