Mission Statement

The Erie Diocesan Cursillo Movement is a special apostolate of the Roman Catholic Erie Diocese.  Its membership comprises all the catholic and ecumenical brothers and sisters who have completed a Cursillo weekend.

            Cursillo provides an authentic experience of Christian community and a spiritual blueprint for living the Christian life.

            Dimensions of this experience include:

              1.  A personal loving encounter with the Lord and with other people.

              2.  A personal adult faith enrichment focusing on the need for piety, study and action - individually and in communion with others.

              3.  Leadership and teamwork development for impacting various environments - civic, church (parish, diocese, world), family, recreation.

              4.  A diversity of opportunities to allow for spiritual growth after the Cursillo weekend, i.e., group reunions, Ultreyas, spiritual direction.

            Cursillo is thus for the glory of God and the spreading of God's Kingdom through service to our membership, recruitment of new members and outreach to people in need.
