PALM BEACH CURSILLO
Welcome to Palm Beach Cursillo!
What is Cursillo?
The story of the road to Emmaus provides the image for Cursillo, a movement of the Catholic
Church which calls forth and renews Christian discipleship. The Cursillo experience starts
with a three-day weekend, which takes a New Testament look at Christianity as a lifestyle. It
is a highly structured weekend designed to strengthen and renew the faith of Catholic
Christians, and through them their families, parishes, work environments, and the world in
which we live. Cursillo is a combined effort of laity and clergy toward the Church.
To learn more about the Cursillo Movement, check out the National Cursillo USA website.
Make a friend ... be a friend ... bring your friend closer to Christ.
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of us your faithful,
and kindle in us the fire of your love.
Send forth your spirit, and we shall be created.
And you shall renew the face of the Earth.
Let us pray.
O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit
instructs the hearts of the faithful,
grant that by that same Holy Spirit
we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolations.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
