What is Cursillo?

Cursillo (pronounded kur-see-yo) is a Spanish word meaning "short course." Cursillo is a full-immersion, spiritually life-changing experience to be lived over the course of three days alongside fellow Catholics who desire to reignite and transform their faith. 

Through fellowship, the sacraments, and "short courses" highlighting piety (prayer), study, and action, Cursillo rejuvenates prayer life, offers friendship within a vibrant Catholic community, ignites the Holy Spirit to kickstart personal discipleship, and opens the heart for a deeper love and relationship with Jesus Christ.

Cursillo Testimonials

Cursillo Testimonials

  • “I’d place living Cursillo in the top 3 events of my life. I went into Cursillo stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated and guarded; I emerged totally different and with a restored perspective of the world. Now I see my Catholic faith as part of everything I do. As such, I don’t sweat the small stuff – instead, I direct my focus towards the eternal. This outlook has spilled into our home life; our family is probably the happiest it has ever been.”

    -Adam Schneider, St. Michael Parish

  • “Church is great, Parish community service is great, but as Catholics, we tend to only wear our piety hats at mass, when everyone else has them on.  Then we take them off when the tabernacle closes and it’s time to coordinate a pot-luck or talk about football.  Cursillo helps us to joyfully bring Jesus with us after the tabernacle closes.

    -Anonymous parishoner

  • “Cursillo has granted me the opportunity to witness the hands of Christ saving souls, creating disciples, and sending them forth as a band of brothers and sisters clothed in the armor of God. God is good!”
