Pre Cursillo Chairperson
A Message from the Chairperson
Hello, my name is Sandra Ondrla and I made my Cursillo weekend in fall of 1999. Since then I have been involved in Cursillo, however at this point in my life on a more committed level. Knowing the importance of this movement, and wanting to share it with others on a wider scope, I joined the Secretariat Team in 2022. As Pre-Cursillo Chairperson, I would like to focus on bringing the Cursillo message to all parishes. Every practicing Catholic should have the opportunity of advancing in their faith journey thru Cursillo. It’s the best gift they could ever get….but didn’t even know they wanted! Please check out the resources available, about the Cursillo Movement, here in the Rockford Diocese.
If you have any questions, please contact me direct.

Pope Francis on Cursillo
“One important thing about your movement: you have not engaged in proselytism,” in shouting matches or forcing fliers into people’s hands, but instead offer friendship, kindness and a Christian witness, he said. “This is a virtue. The Church does not grow through proselytism, but through witness as Pope Benedict told us.”
“When you realize that God has been so good, so tender, so merciful – this has to come out, this has to be shared with others”, Pope Francis said.
