Join Arden McLean from St. George, San Antonio, lay rector and Marie Sluder from Holy Spirit, San Antonio, assistant rectora, for Cursillo #295 for a weekend of study, reflection, fellowship, and worship held March 13 - 16, 2024 at Camp Capers. Spiritual Directors will be the Revs. Ram Lopez from St. George, San Antonio, Gerald Phelps from St. Andrews, Corpus Christi, and Laurie McKim from Santa Fe, San Antonio.
Cursillo (a Spanish word meaning "little course") gives church members the tools and "rules of life" to enthusiastically share the joys of knowing Christ with others in their everyday environments. Cursillo is patterned on Jesus' own example. He searched out and called groups of potential leaders, trained them and sent them out to bring the world to Him.
