CursilloCursillo is a worldwide movement for renewal within the Catholic Church, approved by Pope Francis and Bishop Vann.
A Cursillo Weekend is an opportunity to get away from the everyday stresses of life to focus on God and contemplate with others how to live out our faith with joy and vitality. Come to a Cursillo weekend and experience the depth of God’s love for you!
Each Cursillo weekend begins on Thursday evening and concludes on Sunday evening. It includes inspirational talks, group discussions, Mass, opportunities for Reconciliation, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, singing, laughter, lots of music, and delicious meals.
Location: Divine Word Retreat Center, 11316 Cypress Ave., Riverside, CA 92505. Your sponsor will bring you to the Cursillo weekend and pick you up at the end.
To register for a Cursillo weekend, fill out the application form, print it, and give it to your sponsor with a $50 deposit. They will fill out a sponsor form and send in your application for you. If you don’t know who could be your sponsor, or if you have other questions about Cursillo, contact Susan and Matt Heffron at [email protected].
