What We Do

The Cursillo Movement is a worldwide movement within the Catholic Church that helps Catholics deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ and live out what is fundamental to being a Christian. The word Cursillo means “short course.” It begins with a three-day weekend experience designed to inspire participants to encounter Christ in a personal way and to equip them to bring the Gospel into their everyday environments.

Ultreya, meaning “Onward!”, is the ongoing gathering of those who have lived a Cursillo weekend. These regular meetings provide encouragement, friendship, prayer, and mutual support, helping Cursillistas continue growing in faith and perseverance while keeping the spirit of the Cursillo experience alive.
