Welcomes Our New
Men Cursillistas
View the Picture
Welcome to the Catholic Diocese of Sacramento English-speaking
Cursillo
Movement website. We are pleased that you are taking the time to
acquaint yourself with the Cursillo Movement in Sacramento California.
Cursillo is a designated "Lay Movement" of the Catholic Church that
begins with a person attending a three-day weekend retreat.
After the weekend, the Cursillista (someone who has made a Cursillo
Weekend), has the opportunity to continue their Cursillo journey (if
they want to) via many different venues such as renewal retreats,
social and spiritual gatherings, small prayer groups, socials (dances,
golf tournaments, etc.), working on retreat weekends, etc.
The emphasis of the Cursillo Movement is to have people experience
God's love via a beautiful weekend and then develop a closer personal
relationship with Him while personally trying to make a positive
difference in themselves and the world: their work environment,
friends, parish, family
The Cursillo Movement began in 1947 and, today, there are over five
million Cursillistas worldwide in sixty different countries. The
Catholic Cursillo Movement is active within most of the Dioceses of
California and the United States. In addition to this, there are now
twenty-six different organizations/programs that have spun off from the
original Catholic Cursillo concept.
We encourage you to browse this website for additional
information on
the Sacramento English Cursillo's activities. We specifically encourage
people who are thinking about attending a Cursillo Weekend to look at
the section titled "Why Cursillo."
This section will give you detailed information on what the Weekend is
all about. The other sections of this website cover our Movement's
activities, newsletter, announcements, administrative functions,
applications for attending or working a Weekend, education, special
prayers, National Cursillo and Sacramento Diocese connections, etc.
Thank you again for your review of this website. We encourage
your
questions and involvement in this wonderful Movement of the Church and
God's work.
