The purpose of a Cursillo Retreat, or "Weekend", is to provide a foundation so you may live what is fundamental to being a Christian - love of God and love of neighbor - experienced through three encounters over three days.  An encounter with yourself, with Christ, and with others. 

​

The three days begin with a silent retreat Thursday night through Friday morning. For the rest of the time, you’ll hear short talks on a variety of topics from faith perspectives of team members just like you. You will discuss each of the talks and your impressions with three or four other people seated with you. 

​

The retreat also offers meditation and reconciliation time as well as community meals (the food is great - prepared and served with loving hands). Two spiritual directors, at least one of them a priest, will be present as team members throughout the weekend. And there’s a lot of music and singing – if you have an instrument, bring it along!

 

Men and women have separate retreats because the way we communicate is different. This is a safe but challenging weekend. We strive to provide an environment that helps you to grow in Christ’s Love.

​

After the retreat your sponsor will help you connect for weekly faith sharing groups (we call this Group Reunions).  You can also meet with others in your parish and the diocese.
