Catholic Cursillo Movement in the Archdiocese of Washington

Cursillo is a worldwide movement of the Roman Catholic Church. Our mission is building Christ through Christian Community using Piety, Study and Action.

Cursillo de Cristiandad or “short course
in Christianity” is the full name for
Cursillo. This movement of the laity
within the Catholic Church started in
Majorca, Spain in the 1940’s. The founders, who were dedicated in
helping Catholics to know Christ better,
wanted to give the laity a renewed
spirituality and a clearer understanding
of how Christ can work through them. The Cursillo movement came to the
United States in 1957 where the first
weekend was held in Texas. It was
conducted entirely in Spanish. The Cursillo movement and its method are
highly encouraged by the Catholic Church.
