About Cursillo
Cursillo is always something we want to share, because of the way it has helped us in our own journey with God, and what we've seen it doing for others. Bishop Alfred Holland invited Grafton Diocese to bring Cursillo into the Newcastle Diocese in 1990. Since then each of our Bishops has encouraged the Cursillo movement within this Diocese. The Cursillo theme:- “Make a friend, Be a friend. Bring your friend gently to Jesus” really seems to sum up our experience of Cursillo and of how it has helped us.
Cursillo
Cursillo is a Spanish word that simply means ‘a short course’ and has the idea of a ‘short race’ – something that takes you quickly forward. It refers particularly to the three day weekends which are a part of the movement as a whole and which are described as ‘a short course in Christian living’.
