In order to improve the profile of Cursillo in the Diocese, the Secretariat is trying to set up Cursillo representatives for each parish. These representatives are to be the focal point for Cursillo in each parish. In general, they would inform the pastor that questions about Cursillo should be directed to them, ensure that brochures are available, and promote Cursillo in their parish.
Click here to see if your parish has a representative. If your parish does not have a representative then please consider volunteering to be the representative for your parish. Click here to see the duties of a parish representative.
If you could assist us in this endeavor ( and do a little evangelisation), please contact Rodney Bell at rodney.bell@sympatico.ca or 519-856-4949

Did you know that the OMCC publishes a newsletter each month? Do you know that the OMCC is the World Organization of Cursillos in Christianity? Find out more by clicking on OMCC Bulletins at www.4thday.ca or by clicking here.
Please send me (drmilne@sympatico.ca) any talks you think should be published so we can publish a witness talk every month. Please realize that I will have to use my judgment on whether or not a talk is published so it's possible that not every talk will get published.

The Cursillo movement is a wonderful thing. I especially appreciate the emphasis on forming and maintaining Group Reunions. If you are not already in a Group Reunion what are you waiting for? Come on out to December's Grand Ultreya to find out more about Group Reunions.
