Cursillo - What is It?
Cursillo is a Spanish word meaning "short course". It refers to a prominent spiritual movement in the Catholic Church—officially called Cursillo de Cristiandad—designed to help Christians deepen their faith, grow in spirituality, and bring the teachings of Jesus into their everyday environments.
Rooted in a three-day weekend retreat, the movement focuses on three core pillars:
-
Piety: Deepening one's prayer life and relationship with God.
-
Study: Growing in the understanding of Christian teachings and scripture.
-
Action: Bringing Christian values into daily secular life, such as families, workplaces, and local communities.
Ultimately, the goal is to create a ripple effect, encouraging participants to transform the world from within by living out their faith intentionally every day.
