The 3 days were held from 5-8 September at Catalina Conference Centre Rathmines.  The 6 candidates (now veterans) were excited about the experience and they were well supported by the Team and the whole of Newcastle Cursillo community.

NOW FOR THE 4TH DAY – IT IS IMPORTANT FOR SPONSORS TO ENCOURAGE THE NEW CURSILLISTAS IN GROUP REUNION – ULTREYA !

SADLY WOMEN CELEBRATING OUR FAITH (WCOF) HAS BEEN CANCELLED due to lack of people wishing to attend.  It was originally planned for 1st-3rd March 2019 – Please advise your contacts and all ladies in your Parish.

From 12th to 14th October Australian Anglican Cursillo sent a Team to Hong Kong at Archbishop Paul Kwong’s request to run the first Cursillo there. It was a mixed Cursillo and in addition to the Team there were 14 locals who attended.

It was held at the Silesian Retreat on Cheung Chau Island which is about 6 km south west of Hong Kong and 45 minutes by slow ferry (or 20 mins by fast ferry). There are 3 members from Newcastle Diocese who were in the Team.

Please pray for the contiued development of Cursilloin Hong kong – the theme was “Fan into Flame the Gift of God in You”

Attached are some photos and a short report to read

HK #1 Review

There is a role for Cursillo in Church Growth: A proposal was tabled at Secretariat from Bruce and Helen Fraser suggesting that Cursillistas from the Diocese donate to a fund to sponsor the attendance of interested Ordinands at Cursillo weekends.

We are all no doubt conscious that trainees can be under much pressure, and how incredible it would be for them not to have one more payment to make.
Perhaps many of you do give additionally to your annual $20 contribution; but many more might  be prepared to take on a commitment to give an additional sum to be set aside for such Apostolic Action. The contribution might even be sent to thank God for the life of a past stalwart of Cursillo, a family member or a friend.
This would encourage some of our newer Clergy to understand the benefits of Cursillo in their Parish. It was felt that this, initiative would create greater support from our clergy to the benefit of the Cursillo Movement, for Cursillo Weekends, for our Parishes and our Diocesan family.
Bishop Peter has sanctioned and embraced the idea with his blessings.
A motion was passed re the establishment of this fund and that all Fourth Day Communities should be encouraged to support it.
Donations of any amount would be gratefully accepted :

Cheques should be made out to:  Newcastle Anglican Cursillo and sent to PO Box 174, Waratah, 2298;  or direct deposit BSB 032501 a/c 130926; reference Ordinand Sponsorship donation.

In addition could our new treasurer Colleen Read be e-mailed and notified of the deposit at colleen.read@bigpond.com
Thanks – De Colores and Ultreya
