What is Cursillo?
Cursillo (cur See yo) is a Lay Catholic movement. It's about friends helping friends grow in Christ and shared Christian values in our challenging world. Cursillo began in Spain, on the island of Mallorca, in the 1940's and has spread to countries throughout the world. The Cursillo charism is rooted in an understanding that God, in Christ, loves us deeply just as we are. Through the Cursillo Movement we encounter Christ in the lives we live every day, and, especially, through friendship and community. Read more.
