Helpful Hints & Best Practices

LET'S GET BACK TO BASICS

  • 15 Talks, 5 Meditations, and Worship every day is the core of a Cursillo weekend
  • Your weekend was great but its not here anymore.  All you have to sustain your growth in Christ is The 4Th day
  • Without living into the 4th day our cursillo weekend becomes a distant memory of a weekend spent away with other believers. 
  • Living the 4th Day Path events and Back to the mountain reemphasize to new pilgrims the importance of the 4th day
  • We have spent some time condensing and simplifying our Cursillo Library

SOME BEST PRACTICES

  • Review By Laws and Leadership Term Limits yearly
  • Review “WHY” of Cursillo
  • Clear , consistent, published  Group Reunion times and Ultreya times
  • Grand/Diocesan Wide Ultreyas
  • 4th day retreats/Listening Sessions
  • Embrace The Jesus Movement and The Way of Love
  • Open to New Ideas/ seek inter-generational participation
  • Sponsorship is really Mentorship
