Cursillo Calendar
Stay up to date with upcoming Cursillo events and activities.
ULTREYA!
TBD
Watch your email for more Ultreya details!
What is Ultreya? Ultreya means onward. We will be moving onward together in our fourth day. You will be invited to Ultreyas, diocesan gatherings at parishes, where Cursillistas join in worship and share their lives and the love of God.
Ultreyas are meetings of larger groups of people who have participated in a Cursillo weekend or who might be interested in doing so. Cursillistas share their faith and witness to others so that their own faith and community can grow. There is also an opportunity to find others looking for a friendship group.
Post Cursillo needs your help! Please consider being a parish representative yourself or joining with friends to help bring our community together.
Cursillo Weekends
The Cursillo Weekend is an opportunity to encounter Christ in yourself and in other attendees from the Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese. It provides an opportunity to strengthen your faith through prayer, Sacraments, worship, and education while being away from everyday responsibilities.
