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.
