Washington DC Cursillo

Three Day Committee

The Three Day Committee designates and prepares the leadership team for each Cursillo Weekend and arranges the weekend logistics.

The committee’s work includes:

  • Identifying and recommending weekend coordinators and team members to the Secretariat
  • Forming and preparing weekend leadership through the Coordinators Workshop and team formation sessions
  • Scheduling weekend dates and coordinating with the retreat facility
  • Serving as liaisons to weekend coordinators — supporting commissioning, talk day, and the weekend itself
  • Maintaining weekend supplies, manuals, and materials

 

How to Get Involved
