A Silver Jubilee Celebration

This year Cursillo St. Davids will hold its 25th Weekend. Spiritual Director David Payne explains what’s in store.

Cursillo is a movement of the Church providing a method by which Christians are empowered to grow through prayer, study and action and enabled to share God's love with everyone.

The anniversary weekend will take place at Llangasty Retreat Centre near Brecon from Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th September.

Cursillo Weekends

A Cursillo weekend is three days long, normally running from Thursday evening through to Sunday afternoon. All weekends are led by a team of lay people and clergy, who have all experienced a Cursillo weekend themselves. During the weekend the participants (Cursillistas) will live, worship and learn together. Talks will be given by the leaders on some of the main areas of Christian life and faith, such as grace, faith and action. These areas will also be discussed in group workshops, and reinforced with prayer and quiet reflection.

What do you get out of the Weekend?

Cursillo weekends are a great way to meet people who have a common desire to deepen their relationship with God. They break away from the routine of service-based worship and bring a strengthening of Christian commitment within a community. It is an opportunity to discover our personal gifts and use them for Christian service and leadership, so that we can build up the witness of the Church in the Diocese that both may be renewed and transformed.
