Atlantic Cursillo Conference 2010

The Canadian Conference of Catholic Cursillos will present "A Cursillo of Cursillos" on Prince Edward Island September 16-19, 2010 at the Cavendish Gateway Resort in Mayfield. The cost for the weekend has not been determined at this time. Participation at the Cursillo of Cursillos will be limited to 120 due to the size of the conference room. Applications for the conference will be available in early Spring. If you are interested in attending, you are encouraged to submit your application early. More information will follow on this wonderful opportunity.

Background: the Cursillo movement, of which we are part, is formally called 'Cursillo de Christiandad or Cursillo in Christianity'. For the most part, though, the movement across the world is informally referred to as 'Cursillo'. As you know Cursillo stands for a 'short course'. Therefore, candidates on a Cursillo weekend experience a 'short course in Christianity'. In June, 2010, in Mayfield, we will experience a "short course in Cursillo". Many Cursillistas across Canada had attended the Cursillo of Cursillos in Mallorca, Spain in 2007. In June, 2009, a member of the Mallorcan Cursillo secretariat came to Canada to lead a Cursillo of Cursillos at the National in Ontario. PEI is now very privileged to host the Canadian Conference of Catholic Cursillos presenting a Cursillo of Cursillos for Cursillistas in the Atlantic region.
