June 2009
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
We are in need of your idealism, your spirit of self-sacrifice, and your charity.
As you probably know, we are planning Three-Day Weekends, and they are rapidly approaching. The Men’s Weekend will be held June 11 – 14, and the Women’s Weekend will be held June 25 – 28.
We need your support for the candidates making the weekends. We are in a beautiful new facility at All Saints School in Jupiter, on the grounds of St. Peter Catholic Church. We now have ample space for your support and participation during the weekends. The kitchen and dining facility is large enough to allow the community to assist in the preparation and serving of meals; we ask that you please take the time to help serve a meal or two.
Also, the chapel will be set up to permit community access for participation in Chapel Palanca during rollos. Again, we humbly request your support in this most important aspect of the Cursillo Weekends.
Additionally, we ask you to please provide general palanca letters for the candidates on the weekends. Finally, please be present for the Send-off, the Serenade, and the Closing, so that the candidates can experience the warmth and joy of a truly Christian community. These men and women deserve to see and experience a Christian community in action.
The important details concerning the weekends can be found inside the current newsletter. Please take time to display Christ’s love and joy to our candidates by participating in these weekends.
CHRIST IS COUNTING ON YOU.
May God Bless You,
Jerry Sullivan - Men’s Rector
Toni Jacobs - Women’s Rector

Hope. I have put both of Pope

Our
Mission
The mission of the Cursillo Movement
of the Catholic Diocese of Palm
Beach, Florida is to participate
in the pastoral plan of our diocese
under the guidance and direction
of the Diocesan Bishop and the
appointed Spiritual Director through
the continued use of the Cursillo
Method for evangelizing environments.
All the leadership of the diocesan
movement (which includes the Secretariat,
School of Leaders, and area Ultreya
communities) shall provide to
other Cursillistas an example
of perseverance in the Fourth
Day in all phases and activities
of the Movement.
Relying
on the constant guidance and inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, and a continuing
practice of Palanca for all phases
of the Cursillo, the Diocesan
Cursillo Movement shall continue
to participate in the evangelization
mission of the Church through
the process of targeting environments,
identifying the leaders in those
environments. With them, we shall
attempt to develop Christian communities
and foster Christian growth which,
in turn, will continue to change
the world, and bring the world
closer to Christ, Our Redeemer. |
