In\nthe last Evangelizer, I mentioned new guidance being downward directed to the\nCursillo Movement by Eduardo Bonin and his staff in Mallorca. These updates are aimed at aligning the US\nCursillo with the original Cursillo concepts put in place 50 years ago, which\nwas to bring people closer to God through mutual support and friendship. We appreciate how this strikes a sensitive\ncord with many of us who are very passionate about Cursillo. We have had long and thoughtful conversations\nin the School of Leaders and Secretariat meetings concerning how to handle\nthese issues. Some parts of the Weekend have been deemphasized or eliminated in\nfavor of increased time or emphasis on other parts. For example, we will no longer have a\nCursillo theme and poster. Cursillo is\nthe theme and the poster is the same picture of Jesus that is in the office of\nEduardo Bonin. The Weekend will now\nallow more time for spiritual direction and reflection. Plans to meet and know candidates prior to\nthe Cursillo will be made. Candidates\nwill become Cursillistas and receive their crosses earlier in the Weekend to\nemphasize that we are all Cursillistas and one body in Christ. Cheryl Rajski, the Rectora for the next\nWomen\u2019s Cursillo, which will be held October 24-27, 2019, at the King\u2019s House,\nhas been leading the effort to identify the new Step-by-Step procedures and how\nto include them in the Cursillo Weekend Schedule and activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nthe local level, we are in the process of moving the Weekends from the spring\nto the fall. Relocation to the fall was made because support from priests and\ndeacons during Lent and Easter has been increasingly difficult. This move has received strong support by\nnearly everyone. As a part of the change\nin season, we also have considered a change in venue from ASC Ruma to the\nKing\u2019s House. We currently have\nCursillos scheduled at both the King\u2019s House and at ASC Ruma for the fall of\n2020. Terry Kostel, the Three-Day Chair,\nand I have had some very positive discussions with the ASC Leadership in Ruma\nabout hosting our Cursillos. They have\noffered some good suggestions on how we can better use their facilities. In addition, the feedback from the Women\u2019s\nCursillo, which will be held at the King\u2019s House this October, will help to\nfinalize the decision on location. The\nCursillo Weekend venue is still an open issue that will require further\ndiscussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ask the entire Cursillo community to keep an\nopen mind. The road ahead has been well\nthought out and approached with caution and should have a positive effect on\nour Cursillo program in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love,\nJoy, Peace, and De Colores!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
