Cursillo (pronounced kur-see-yo) is a Spanish word meaning "little" or "short course." This short course for adults begins on Thursday evening and continues through Sunday night.
During these four days participants live and work together listening to talks given by priests and laity. They also participate in Mass and pray together. The talks focus on grace, faith, piety, the sacraments, evangelization and much more.
A Cursillo is an encounter with Christ. The main objectives of the Cursillo movement in Arkansas are to develop in adult Christians a consciousness of their power and mission to become leaders in the work of Christian renewal, and to sustain them as they provide a Christian leaven in civic, social and economic life. This program is offered through the diocesan Cursillo Office in English and Spanish. To learn more, download the brochure.
