Pre Cursillo Chairperson

---

I have been a Cursillista since October 2014, and the movement has profoundly changed my life, just as it has for so many others. Over the years, I’ve been frustrated to see weekends with few candidates or, worse, weekends canceled due to not having enough candidates. As a retired military officer with 28 years of experience making things happen, I’m committed to building on the strong foundation already in place and enhancing our outreach efforts. My initial focus as the Pre-Cursillo leader is to map out the groups within our Diocese, ensuring we work through each effectively to build a steady stream of candidates. Beyond never missing a weekend, my ultimate goal is to bring more men and women to Christ through Cursillo. Join me in this effort—I need some volunteers to help make this happen. Call today, and let’s work together to ensure the movement continues to transform lives!

A Brief Overview of Pre-Cursillo    

The Pre-Cursillo phase of the Cursillo Movement focuses mainly on events prior to the Cursillo weekend emphasizing on the below:  

· Collecting and reviewing the Sponsor & Candidate forms to ensure they are fully completed

· Updating and providing the Rector and Rectora with the Candidate and Sponsor information 

· Providing information about the Cursillo Movement to all parishes in the Rockford Diocese 

· Talking about Cursillo after Masses · Keeping the Pastors informed of parishioners who have lived a Cursillo Weekend

If you are interested in helping with the task outlined above, or you are interested in obtaining more information for your parish, please contact me by email. I will be sure to respond within 24 hours.
