DE COLORES!
Your
4th-Day
4th-Day
We call the day after your 3-Day Cursillo Weekend your 4th-Day.
Every day thereafter is also considered your 4th Day.
You will live that 4th Day for the rest of your life. When we classify this as one more step into the Cursillo Method we mean that you are still growing, sharing, learning.
Grouping
Group Reunions are for the Individual.
Group Reunion or "Grouping"
The Group Reunion is a small group (3 to 6) of Cursillo friends who meet regularly. The purpose of these meetings is to share with one another the growth that has taken place within each of them:
-
to deepen their friendship
-
to help one another live according to the Gospel
-
to bring a Christ-like attitude to their environments
These gatherings of friends form the foundation of the Cursillo Movement. Right from the start, its founders viewed the Group Reunion as a way to build and maintain small Christian communities that serve as leaven for the Gospel within their environments.
As we seek to bring Christ into our various environments, we may become frustrated. The Group Reunion provides the ongoing support we need to persevere as part of God’s plan.
To help spread the Kingdom, nothing compares to sharing God’s graces among friends.
Ultreya
Ultreya Is for The Community.
After the groups are formed, Ultreya is the next priority. Ultreya is the members of the smaller friendship groups coming together in order to form a large community. Whereas the friendship group provides for the individual, the Ultreya provides for the good of the community.
School of Leaders
The School of Leaders is open to anyone, and everyone is welcome! Through the different presentations and study offered at these events, one can learn how to simplify, facilitate and enable the sharing of what is fundamental to being Christian in all the environments in which we live, and we are engaged in. It also helps to promote and increase the level of spiritual growth of our community.
The School of Leaders is the essential piece of the continuation and development of the Cursillo Movement. It is the environment where the Charism of the Movement can be embraced, studied and promoted, in order to live and preserve its method, essence and purpose.

Palanca
pronounced pah-LAHN-kah.
Make a friend,
Be a friend,
and bring a
friend to Christ.
“Palanca” in Spanish means “lever”. Palanca, for our purposes, is a spiritual lever used to move people, gently and lovingly, toward God. It comes in the form of a letter written to give support and guidance in the form of a prayer, sacrifice, and heart to heart communication.
