Washington DC Cursillo

What is Cursillo?

Cursillo is a worldwide movement of the Roman Catholic Church, offering a three-day encounter with Christ and Christian community through piety, study, and action.

Cursillo is a worldwide movement of the Roman Catholic Church. Using the tools of piety, study, and action, Cursillo offers a three-day encounter with oneself, Christ, and one another to become Christian leaders in our environments. Cursillo provides a method for growth in the Christian community through sustained sharing, prayer, and study within small friendship groups. Friendship groups enrich our lives with piety, grow our understanding of faith through study, and take action to bring others to Christ.

Our movement exists so that on judgment day there will be more saints in full communion with our Creator. We meet to answer the essential question of our Cursillo Movement: How does my action build God’s community? Take a moment to reflect on God’s action in life so that it may become your action in this life.

Join us at an Ultreya (gathering of friendship groups) and a School of Leaders’ meeting to share and be Christ with one another. Learn more about our Cursillo Movement, make a friend, be a friend, and help bring that friend to Christ.
