CURSILLO
Make a Friend.  Be a Friend.  Bring A Friend to Christ.
​

The Cursillo (pronounced 'kur-see-yo) movement began in the 1940's in Spain.  In 1957 it came to the U.S. a nd 10 years later - to Rochester, New York.  The name, “Cursillo” translates into English as “short course".  The founders were dedicated to helping adult Catholics come to know Christ better.  Their intention - then and now - was to give the laity of the Church a renewed spirituality and a clearer understanding of how Christ can work through them to bring Christian values to all environments and people with whom they come in contact.

Cursillo develops a consciousness of our Baptismal responsibility to be evangelizers and leaders in the task of Christian renewal.
