Other great tips for finding a group:
-
Check in with your sponsor. Even if it’s been a while since your Weekend and you’ve been grouping but would like to try something different, your sponsor may be able to provide some guidance.
-
Check in with the team members from your Weekend, especially the members who were at your table. Team members typically are active in Cursillo, and may know of groups in your area that are open to new members… or know how to get in contact with Cursillo leaders in your parish or a nearby parish.
-
Go to a diocesan Ultreya or your parish Ultreya or one nearby. You may find people in your own backyard whose groups are open to new members or who want to begin grouping.
-
Reach out to people at other Cursillo events… when candidates are being dropped off or picked up for a Weekend, for example.
-
Check in with the other “babe chicks” from your Weekend. Was there a man or woman with whom you particularly “clicked”? Even if you live at opposite ends of the diocese, get together for coffee or talk via e-mail or phone. He or she may know of people who are looking to group near you.
-
E-mail the Fourth Day Committee. They can put you in touch with Cursillo leaders from your parish or one nearby if you’re too shy to step out in faith at an Ultreya or with strangers.

Hi Frank – Thanks so much for your comments! It would be great if you sent us your group reunion information (via contact us or by reply to this post) and we will add it to the list. When we transferred data from the old site, we made a decision not to simply copy over the old group information since much of it was outdated, but to validate each Group before adding. Apologies for missing your group.
We list Groups that are not currently accepting new members to show the richness and diversity of our Groups to inspire those forming new Group Reunions. And for the folks organizing Ultreas to help them find the Groups in their parish.
Hope this helps,
De Colores!

When we transferred the site, I offered the database that has all the Group Reunions that were listed in the previous site.
I can pass that to you again, if you wish; the information is still relevant, as Frank points out…
Pete–As Lyn notes (and as I have found from people), that database was not current. We’re happy to add current information that folks send. DeColores, Mel
