The Church of the Holy Trinity

Cursillo

The name Cursillo (koor-see-yo) is Spanish, meaning short course. The proper name is Cursillo de Cristiandad (short course of Christianity). There is much more to the Cursillo Movement, however, than just a three-day weekend. Cursillo is really a method of structuring Christianity around what is fundamental to being a Christian. Cursillo involves a tripod of piety, study and action, enabling us to be effective apostles in the environments in which we find ourselves.

Several denominations conduct Cursillo retreats. The Episcopal Cursillo is a national movement with many dioceses organizing their own forms of Cursillo. The New York Episcopal Cursillo is held at the Mariondale Retreat Center an hour north of the City.

This year, several members of Holy Trinity have experienced Cursillo both as candidates and as team members. They have returned from this unique form of retreat with a sense of spiritual renewal and growth.
