The Weekend Committee, co-chaired by Phil and Duffy Kiko, in coordination with the other Secretariat committees, works behind the scenes to support the Cursillo Weekends. This support ranges from finding Weekend locations, providing support to the team, providing supplies and coordinating the Closing Ultreya, which includes finding the location, set up, and clean up. This Committee supports the logistical needs of the teams in formation so they can focus on being Christ to one another and to the new candidates. Your assistance is ALWAYS welcome on this team. Please contact Phil at (703) 919-3437 or moc.liamtohnull@ylimafokik or Duffy at (703) 919-8682 or moc.liamgnull@neelloc.okik to offer your assistance or find out how you can help.
