Welcome!

Welcome to the website of the English-speaking Sector of the Cursillo Movement in the Diocese of Charlotte. Our goal is to form leaders who will assist their Catholic sisters and brothers bring Christ's message of love to their particular environments: family, friends, neighborhood, community and church.

Cursillo members are urged to respond to their baptismal call to evangelize communities as well as individuals through prayer, study and personal contact, each and every one of them recognizing that the Lord counts on them to do his work because they are His eyes, ears, mouth, hands and feet in today's world.

It is our prayerful hope that this Web site will help bring you closer to your sisters and brothers in Christ, indeed to Christ himself.

 
What is Cursillo?
To explain Cursillo to someone who has never experienced Cursillo is at best, difficult.  Often, for those who have experienced Cursillo it is still somewhat mystifying.  This is not because the Cursillo Movement is a "secret" organization.  The reason behind the mystery is God.  No one can fully explain how God touches each person in His special/unique way throughout the various elements of the Cursillo Movement.  This Web site cannot explain the mystery of God.  The Web site will; however, attempt to explain the human aspect behind the Cursillo Movement.

Throughout this Web site you will find references to concepts that at one time seemed foreign to Catholics.  Evangelization is probably the one that comes to mind first.  For many years Catholics looked upon evangelization as "something the Protestants did."  Today, in Church, we hear a great deal about evangelization.  Still for some of us, we automatically think of going out two-by two (with Bible in hand) and knocking on people's doors.  Nothing could be further from the truth.
