Welcome!

"The Cursillo Movement is a movement of the Church which by means of its own method makes it possible for people to live what is fundamental for being a Christian, and to live it together; it helps people discover and fulfill their personal vocations, and it promotes the creation of core groups of Christians who leaven their environments with the Gospel." (The Fundamental Ideas of the Cursillo Movement, p.53)

Current News

Region XI Grand Ultreya was held on August 4, 2018 at St. Anne's Church in San Francisco.

Bishop Carlos Sevilla, SJ, US National Episcopal Advisor, shared the "Foundational Charism of the Cursillo Movement."  Charism is the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Symbols of the charism are reflected on mountains, water (baptism) and mission.  Cursillistas are instruments of forgiveness.  Forgiveness leads to peace, reconciliation and justice.  
The three main messages that God imparts to us through the Bible: (1) I love you; (2) I am with you always - no matter what; (3) Trusts me.

The following Cursillista regions participated in the Grand Ultreya: Oakland, San Jose, San Bernardino, San Diego, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
