CURSILLO DE CURSILLO RECAP (by Nancy Armstrong-Montes)

The Cursillo de Cursillos Workshop Weekend Sept 19-22 at St. Joseph's in Colbert, WA was magnificent! 25 attended: 11 from the Spokane Diocese, 3 from the Yakima Diocese, 4 from the Boise Diocese, 5 from Oregon (4 from the Portland Diocese and 1 from the Baker Diocese) and Cef Aguillon, the National English Coordinator for Cursillo and Fr. Mark Seiker, the National Cursillo Spiritual Advisor, from the Diocese of Lincoln, NE. The talks were inspirational and informative. There were also many opportunities for sharing, prayer, and music. The food was outstanding! Attached see a congratulatory letter from Cef to all those who participated. Attendees were honored to be recognized and blessed by Father Tom Connolly during mass as part of a larger Catechetical Sunday celebration at St Joseph's.

UPCOMING PLANS

In addition to monthly Ultreya meetings, the Spokane Cursillistas are tentatively planning a Cursillo in Spokane: Men's Weekend February 6-9, 2025 and Women's Weekend February 13-16, 2025.
