Cursillos de Cristiandad


Cursillos de Cristiandad, ("Short courses of Christianity") is an apostolic movement of the Roman Catholic Church. It was founded in Majorca, Spain, by a group of laymen in 1944, while they were refining a technique to train pilgrimage Christian leaders.

The Cursillo focuses on showing Christian laypeople how to become effective Christian leaders over the course of a three-day weekend. The weekend includes fifteen talks, called rollos, which are given by priests and by laypeople. The major emphasis of the weekend is to ask participants to take what they have learned back into the world, on what is known as the "fourth day." The method stresses personal spiritual development, as accelerated by weekly group reunions after the initial weekend.

Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish has a very active Spanish Cursillo group; their members are very involved in many ministries in the parish. They joined Our Lady Queen of Peace in 2017. 

The next Cursillo de Cristiandad Retreat will be on: (information will be added soon)
