PASTORAL PLAN FOR THE ENGLISH CURSILLO MOVEMENT OF THE CATHOLIC DIOCESE
OF ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA
The goal of the Cursillo Movement is the apostolic renewal of our society. Cursillistas are encouraged to participate actively and intentionally in the ministry of evangelization.
Cursillistas should develop their personal spirituality and live in a way that is fundamental to being a Christian. Group Reunion and Ultreya offer support to those who have made the three-day Cursillo weekend.
Our local movement strives to maintain the spirit of Cursillo in its implementation in accordance with national norms and directives.
We are committed to growing in holiness and mission in accord with the vision of our Bishop.
