Learning and support for ministry that brings our world to Christ

Interested in attending a Cursillo weekend?

Cursillo is a diocesan-wide renewal movement within the Church whose purpose is to help those in the Episcopal Church understand their individual callings to be Christian. Cursillo begins with a three-day weekend short course intended to help participants experience "what is fundamental to being a Christian." Cursillo operates in our diocese under the direct supervision of our Bishop.

Prayer support, love, and joy are emphasized through music, group discussion, and fellowship. There is also time for privacy, meditation, prayer, and walks. Eucharist is celebrated each day by two or three clergy who also attend the weekend.

If interested, please speak with your pastor or contact Jeanne Devenport. The cost is $70; scholarships are available if needed. The application form and more about the weekend can be found here. Our next weekend will be on October 21-24, 2010 at the Cathedral of St. John in Spokane.

Dear Friends in Christ:

I welcome the opportunity to commend Cursillo to you. The ministry offered by Cursillo provides spiritually sound ongoing formation in the faith through stronger community and dedicated service in Christ's name.

We in this diocese are fortunate to have Cursillo leaders who are committed to offering this resource to all, and I encourage participation throughout the diocese.

Your brother in Christ,
