Parish Groups

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.  Please follow the link below for more information.
