Cursillo
“Cursillo” is a movement of the Catholic Church, which means “short course”. It is a powerful instrument of renewal in the Church. Individuals attend a three-day weekend and are provided a method through which one’s spirituality may be developed, lived and shared with others. It provides new insights and a plan to support living Christian truths following the three-day weekend. Those who have lived a “Cursillo” weekend then partake in small group reunions to encourage one another in spiritual improvement and Christian apostolate.
Currently small group reunions are held at Holy Trinity Parish on Wednesday evenings.
