LEADERS SCHOOL OF SERVANTS PROGRAM1-2-08 No matter what we call
it – a school of leaders, a leader’s school, a school of servants, a
leader’s community, or whatever, a local movement cannot be considered
fully Cursillo unless it has one. In this diocese, in the years when the
school did not exist, our movement was not “fully Cursillo” there was
something incomplete. This makes so much sense when you consider this
fact. The movement itself (Cursillo) was born and received its form and
impulse from such a group called a school of leaders.
When a Diocese has a core group of Cursillo Leaders (like us),
committed to being a community of service to the movement, especially to
the post cursillo needs of the Cursillistas, then we have a movement that
is fully Cursillo. So now we know that
the school has to exist and be functional for our movement to be fully
Cursillo but is that the only reason for us to do this apostolate. No! The purpose of the school is to provide a place where we and
any other Cursillistas who are called to work in the movement can focus
our energy, that inner calling, toward progressive personal conversion and
to help sustain and encourage all the group reunions; prepare and perfect
the ultreyas; train leaders and to start them off; and conduct the three
day weekends. The school of leaders
is not established to do things
but to be something – a
community of service to the Cursillistas, especially those in the forth
day, the post-cursillo. The
school of Servants is a group reunion of leaders.
The school of Servants is meant to give the movement a team of
leaders who: 1.
Live and understand the method so they can lead others; 2.
Are in a state of progressive conversion so that their holiness
attracts others; 3.
Are developing their knowledge and practical experience of the
Cursillo’s purpose and method so that they acquire the Cursillo
mentality and communicate it to others; 4.
Are learning the technique of the Cursillo and its methodology,
especially the work of personal contact; 5.
Know and live the talks of the weekend; 6.
Develop the sense of being church leaders with the mind of the
Church; 7.
Are keeping the pulse of the whole movement in its three phases,
especially in the environments, promoting and giving life to the work of
evangelization; 8.
Are providing and giving life to the perseverance forms of the
Cursillo method (i.e., the groups and the ultreyas)
An
Ultreya is held at St. Pius in The School of Servants meets on the first Wednesday of each month at Mary Queen of Heaven in Erlanger starting at 7:00 PM in the school library.
