BRUNSWICK — A new Ultreya is starting on April 16 at 7 p.m. at Saint Charles Borromeo Church, 132 McKeen St.
This meeting is for anyone who has been to a Cursillo or Tres Dias weekend, and anyone who would just like to know more about Cursillo.
Cursillo weekends are designed to offer:
— An opportunity to grow in faith and in spirituality,
— A deeper understanding of the teachings of Jesus and how one can serve him,
— An experience of living and sharing with others in a loving and caring Christian community and realizing that this can be extended into one’s own environment.
— A continuing community that gives support and encouragement empowering the renewed Christians to persevere in carrying out their baptismal vows.
Cursillo includes a threeday weekend which begins on Thursday evening and concludes on Sunday. During these three days, talks are given by lay persons and clergy who have spent time working together carefully planning and preparing for the weekend. The Cursillo weekend is not a retreat. There is no fasting or extended periods of silence. The weekend is an opportunity to meet clergy and laity who are seeking to strengthen their faith. It provides an opportunity through shared prayer, worship, study, fellowship, laughter, tears and love to experience the reality of the gift of God’s love freely and unconditionally given. Holy Eucharist will be celebrated daily.
The Ultreya is designed to be a “faith refresher” or Cursillo weekend renewal.
