The School of Leaders is the essential piece of the continuation and development of the Cursillo Movement. It is the appropriate environment where the Charism of the Movement can be embraced, studied and promoted, in order to live and preserve its method, essence and purpose. (excerpt from “Operational Structures of Cursillo School of Leaders and Secretariat”, National Cursillo Encounter 2013)
It was last year in the winter edition of The Voice that I was introduced to the CICC as the newly appointed Chairperson for the School of Leaders. At the time that I wrote that article I had no real concept or framework of what I was about to embark on and where this journey might take me. Over the next couple of months during 2019 I spent considerable time developing a plan of action and objectives that would serve as the working document and roadmap for my course of action for this first year. It was included as part of last year’s CICC Apostolic Plan. Albeit somewhat basic and primary at the time, I at least had some vision and objectives laid out in front of me to get something started. I was excited and motivated to begin to build this re-born School of Leaders for the CICC. I immediately set out to build a small group of Cursillistas that would be my School of Leaders team. Together we would embark on this journey and create something that would once again help build and form the leadership of the CICC Cursillista membership. Then along came the Cursillo Region IV Spring Encounter – in other words, along came God’s plan.

The Central Indiana Cursillo Center (CICC) School of Leaders is here to help you continue your Cursillo weekend so you can keep growing in your knowledge of the love of Jesus and learn how the Cursillo movement works in the world.

• The School of Leaders offers a joyful and educational community experience where all can play a part in the success of Cursillo in the  Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the Diocese of Lafayette (known collectively as “CICC”) .  It is a place to take part in building God's Kingdom in many ways:

  • To promote and assure the authenticity and integrity (Charism) of the Cursillo Movement in its three phases - Pre-Cursillo, Cursillo, and Post-Cursillo.

  • To help facilitate and enhance the process of welcoming and inviting new members (Pre-Cursillo), providing an effective and authentic 3-day encounter experience (Cursillo), and sustain and stimulate the Cursillo community with joyful and enriching 4th-day experiences (Post-Cursillo).

  • To stimulate and activate servants to Cursillo by offering a wide variety of participation levels of service in all the areas of  CICC without obligating or committing them to any specific activity.

  • To unify an active 4th-day community that provides ongoing input and feedback on the effectiveness of CICC in its mission of building the kingdom of God.
