Onwards and Upwards residential weekend

Onwards and upwards residential weekend DODU 20-22may 2016 By Sharon Zuddiam

In May we held our first residential weekend. This was a great weekend with Cursillistas from the 1996 Cursillo through to last years Side-by-Side weekend attending. There was a lot to learn with talks on how to deepen our relationship with Christ, how to share the Cursillo experience with future Cursillistas, how to put the Cursillo Method into action in our every day environment and of course a lot of fun and catching up with old friends. At the end of the weekend people had the opportunity to explore the Sacraments in their own time.

The highlight of the weekend was a guest appearance from our National Lay Director, Rodger O’Hara. He presented a talk on the use of our manual and described the structure and function of the National Secretariat. His session finished off with a group discussion on how to carry Cursillo on into the future, highlighting the importance of Fourth Day Groups and Ultreya’s. If you are not a part of a Fourth Day Group take a look on the Fourth Day Group Reunion tab to find one close to you or contact secretariat to find out how to start one in your Parish.
