What is Cursillo?
Cursillo is the abbreviated name for “Cursillos de Christiandad” which translates from its Spanish origins to “short course in Christianity.” 

The Cursillo Movement is a lay movement within the Catholic Church that shares the fundamentals of being a Christian as an individual and as a community.
 
The Cursillo helps the person discover and fulfill their personal vocation as a layperson while promoting groups of Christians who ”leaven their environments” with the Gospel.  In other words, by living a fully Christian life, we bring Christ to others in our everyday settings of home, work, and daily activity.
 
The Cursillo provides a method and a technique to provide each of us with the tools, the mentality, the strength and the support to make this natural type of evangelization possible.
