Covid restrictions have lifted enough for us to resume offering
weekends for those who feel comfortable attending.

We Invite You to Make a Cursillo Weekend

A Cᴀthᴏliᴄ Cursillo weekend is for those who wish to know Jesus Christ in a more personal way and live their faith more deeply.
Wᴇ all know friends or family members who have left our Catholic faith for other churches, or simply drifted away. If they ask you questions about Catholicism, can you give reasons for your beliefs? Come hear lay men and women who have dealt with their faith along their lives’ journey share their stories of witness. Learn from spiritual talks that combine serious teaching with humor. Learn ways to grow your enthusiasm for Christ!
A series of talks will be given by priests and laypersons each day with spiritual meditations and the Holy Eucharist (Mass), joyful fellowship, and wonderful meals in a comfortable setting.

IF, after prayerful discernment, you feel this is right for you, download and complete the Candidate Application.
Complete the candidate’s section, printing legibly.
Review it with your sponsor/mentor if you have any questions.
Ask your pastor to sign the bottom of the application.
After sponsor/mentor and pastor have signed off, mail application with deposit to the North Bend address. You should receive an acknowledgment of receipt of your application within 10 working days.
