"How can I get to attend a Cursillo weekend?"

Any adult Episcopalian Christian may attend a Cursillo weekend as well as members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, with whom the Episcopal Church is in full communion.  Our licensing agreement with the Roman Catholic Church prohibits us from allowing members of other denominations to attend.

Those who would benefit from the weekend experience are:

  • lay people who are actively engaged in ministry.

  • lay people who already are Christians but who would benefit from greater empowerment for their ministries.

  • lay people who are looking for a small group whose members nurture each others' growth.

  • clergy who are ministering in congregations where Cursillo is already growing ministers.

  • clergy who want a tool for building the total ministry of their congregation.

  • anyone who just wants to know what all the excitement is about.

Nobody HAS to attend a Cursillo weekend.

It's probably not a good time for you to attend a Cursillo weekend right now if you

  • are just getting to know who Jesus is.
  • are facing personal crises in your life.
  • do not know anyone who has already attended a Cursillo weekend.

"It IS a good time for me to go.  How do I register?"

  • Talk to your rector.  He/she will tell you about the weekend and can help you find a sponsor, someone who has already attended a Cursillo weekend.
  • Perhaps you already know someone you would like to serve as your sponsor.  Talk to your rector about that and then talk to your friend.  It's your sponsor's job to answer any questions you might have about the weekend and to help you fill out the registration form. 
  • The cost for the weekend is $175; if this poses a difficulty consult with your sponsor.
