CURSILLO WEEKEND

Cursillo Weekend

The purpose of the Cursillo weekend is to bring people from the Precursillo to the Postcursillo stage.

WHAT IS THE WEEKEND LIKE? HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Talk to your Sponsor about the Cursillo Weekend. There are no secrets, but there are things we refrain from talking about so that you can openly enjoy the weekend without higher expectations. Ask your potential Sponsor or someone you know who has attended a Cursillo Weekend to take you to an Ultreya. This will give you some of the flavors of a weekend.

Cursillo Weekends begin on Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. Plan to leave early enough in the afternoon to stop and have dinner with your Sponsor. Arrive on time and relax! You will need to do nothing else except participate in the Weekend! The Weekend will end late Sunday afternoon. Expect to be home after dinner Sunday evening. Your Sponsor will provide your transportation.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO THE WEEKEND?

Bring comfortable clothing appropriate to the season. Dress is typically casual. Bedding, washcloths, pillows, and towels will NOT be provided.

WHAT SHOULD I NOT BRING TO THE WEEKEND?

You are requested to leave home your watches, cell phones, pagers, and other worldly distractions. One team member will have a cell phone for emergency use only, and it will be provided to your sponsor.

WHERE IS THE WEEKEND HELD?

Cursillo House – 1233 E. Kingsley Avenue, Pomona, CA 91767

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE WEEKEND?

After your THREE day weekend, candidates enter their FOURTH day, which continues until they enter Heaven. Each individual who returns from the weekend with a renewed commitment to work for Christ is encouraged to join in the activities of an existing community of persons who have also experienced the weekend. The purpose of this community is to give strength and support to each other in order that each person might grow in faith and develop their particular gifts of ministry.
