Central Indiana Cursillo


 

LAFAYETTE ULTREYA
The Lafayette Cursillo community will sponsor a carry in supper and Ultreya at St. Lawrence Parish on Saturday, March 27 at 6 p.m.  Soups, bread, and crackers will be provided.  Please bring vegetables and deserts to share.  Ultreya will follow at 7 p.m.  Everyone is welcome.

LEADERS SCHOOL AT ST. JOE 
We are hosting Leaders School at St. Joseph Parish on April 10 from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.  This is a great opportunity to refresh your knowledge and understanding of our Movement and Method.  It is also helpful in preparing to be on a future team.  Anticipation Mass, a pitch-in dinner, and the Reunion Ultreya immediately follow the school, so come and enjoy a day of "Cursillo" activities.

CITY-WIDE ULTREYA
Indianapolis is rotating Ultreya locations for 2010.  If your parish or group reunion would like to host this event for one month, please contact Bill Halsema at (317) 255-5325.  Bill will assist with witness speakers and music.

GROUP REUNION IS A PRIORITY
IN 2010

Using the method of "make a friend, be a friend", find one Cursillista who isn't active with Cursillo and invite them to join your group.  Need help finding a group??  Click on the "Group" tab at the top of this page.

THE CURSILLO IS BORN
This article was written about an early Cursillo weekend in 1949.  It is not the "first Cursillo" (as the author states), but the first time that the exercises were "officially sanctioned" by the Church in Spain.

EVENTS LEADING TO CURSILLO
The birth of Cursillo was the work of the Holy Spirit, active in the lives of the Spanish founders.  Enjoy this "before-cursillo" history.

WITNESS FROM FIRST CURSILLO
Here is a wonderful account from a candidate on the very first Cursillo weekend, held on the Island of Mallorca in 1944.  It was given on the 60th anniversary celebration of the movement in 2004.  It should be noted that the author of this article shares his weekly group reunion with Eduardo Bonnin, rector of that first weekend.
