Cursillo literature cites several different definitions for the purpose of the Cursillo Movement.  While the wording (definitions) may vary, the idea is the same.  This is due, in part, to the fact that the purpose of Cursillo is multi faceted.  No one definition can truly explain what Cursillo is.  However, all the definitions can give a much richer meaning to the purpose of Cursillo.   

• •  One definition states: "The purpose (or goal) of the Movement is to make Christian community possible in neighborhoods, parishes, work situations and other places where people live the greater part of their lives. It makes possible for anyone in the world to live a Christian life in a natural way." 

• •  Still another definition states: "Since it is a movement of the Church, the Cursillo Movement has the same apostolic purpose as the Church herself.  And the Church, as Pope Paul VI told us, exists to evangelize." 

Cursillo - "Short Courses in Christianity"  Encountering Christ in our day and times can sometimes be difficult.  We are offering the experience of the 'Cursillo Method' for enriching or even beginning a true 'love relationship' with our Lord Jesus Christ!  Learn more about Christ, your faith, your church, and yourself during the 3-day weekend.
