Cursillo Small Group Reunion

What the movement is about:

Cursillos in Christianity, which means “a short course in Christianity” is a movement in the Roman Catholic Church to enable the baptized to have the knowledge and conviction to live and share what is fundamental for being Christian – to love God and neighbor – experienced through three essential encounters: the encounter of oneself, the encounter of Christ and the encounter with others.  Cursillo includes a three-day weekend which begins on Thursday evening and concludes on Sunday. During these three days, talks are given by lay persons and clergy.  Activities are provided to experience the reality of the unconditional gift of God’s love through shared prayer, worship, and fellowship.

The Cursillo Small Group Reunion is a group of cursillistas who gather on a regular basis to share their spiritual journey through Piety, Study and Action.

The St. Leander Cursillo Small Group meets on second Wednesdays of the month from 7:00 p.m. -8:30 p.m. at the upstairs Fireside Room in the Parish Office Building. For more information, contact Tess Morales at (510) 568-7962 or email her at tess.morales@yahoo.com.
