From the Lay Director - Carolyn Bosch

 

Dear Cursillo Community:

 

Thank you to our dance committee, led by Vic and Barb Boelscher. The first DeColores Dance was so much fun, 150 people attended, the food, the company, the music, the camaraderie were wonderful. Bishop Foys joined us and told us he is so glad we are alive and well in the Diocese. Thank you Bishop Foys for your kind words. If you missed it this year, you will want to be sure to join us next year.

 

Thank you for your generosity in our annual pledge drive, so far we have collected $5,500 for our movement! This is absolutely wonderful, thank you so much.

 

The first Ultreya at St. Bernard was held on January 21^st. It was a booming success. There were many people in attendance. Thank you one and all for making this happen and for your participation.

 

We need your help: to serve meals for the weekends, to do palanca, to pray in the chapel, to pray at home, to join us for the closings. If you would like to help serve meals, please contact Dan Heck on the web or at 859-802-8697 and he will direct you.  We are all very excited about the up and coming weekends. Talk to Jesus, ask Him who He wants you to talk to, and then talk with them about making a weekend and moving into their 4^th day experience. Get them ready.

 

We have talked about the changes for our upcoming weekends. Please be sure you are aware of these, they are very important. There will be no Mass for any closings; there will be the witnesses from our new baby chicks, a prayer service and a reception. All of this will take place at St. Anne Convent on Route 8 in Melbourne, Kentucky. As you go to St. Anne, do not speed, you will get a ticket. Since there is no travel time, the times for the closings will be earlier. They will begin at 3:45 p.m.  Please be at St. Anne's by 3:15 p.m., come through the front doors of the Convent, we will direct you to our "hiding" place. Closing dates are February 22^nd for the Men and March 8^th for the Women. Hope to see you all there.

 

DeColores,

 

Carolyn Bosch

CURSILLO- Dan Heck

As we approach the Spring '09 weekends we ask for everyone's cooperation and patience. I'm sure by now, you are aware, we are moving to St. Anne's Convent in Campbell County. St. Anne's is a very large complex and until we are there actually putting on weekends there we won't know the obstacles we will face. 

 

Tom Bartlett and I recently visited the campus and came away impressed with the cleanliness and beauty of the surroundings. We were fortunate to run into Sr. Grace who was helpful and told us she remembered years ago when the Cursillo held weekends at St. Anne's.  I knew we held weekends there but it was pretty neat to meet someone who remembered the movement being there so many years ago.  I guess it made me realize this move is not that big of change, it's a return to an earlier location. 

 

I am confident that the Holy Spirit will see us through. I ask the entire community to pray continuously for the success of our Movement.  Pray especially for Chris Dillon and Barb Vogel our team rectors this spring.  They and their teams have worked hard and prayed hard to make the '09 spring weeks successful.

 

We still need some prayer groups to help serve meals and clean up afterwards for the Men's/Women's weekend. If your prayer group is interested in helping please contact me at dhecks@hotmail.com and I will work with Chris' and Barb's team to see what meal and times are available.  It is important to remember that the server numbers is restricted to 6 to 8 servers. Prayer Groups are ideal for this Palanca since they are usually not larger than 6 to 8 members.

 

Meal Times	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Breakfast	8:00 a.m.	8:00 a.m.	8:00 a.m.
Lunch	12:10 p.m.	12:10 p.m.	12:10 p.m.

May God Bless each and everyone,

 

Dan Heck Sr.

 

POST CURSILLO - Tom Barlett

 

Ultreyas - Third Wednesday of the month @ 7:00 p.m. at St. Bernard, Dayton

                 Fourth Thursday of the month @ St. Pius

School of leaders - Mark Krahe

 

The school is doing well.  We have averaged about 20 Cursillistas at each session and by most accounts they are learning a lot about the movement and about how to pass on the Good News.  We are studying the Fundamental Ideas of the Cursillo Movement and 1st Conversations at Cala Figuera. These books are core literature of the movement.  We do one chapter in each book each session; and we are learning a whole lot about the Cursillo Movement - imagine that!  If you really want to get more involved in Cursillo and pass on the gifts you so joyfully received, invest 2 hours a month and join the school.  The one you bring to Jesus maybe, who knows, just about anyone.
