Our Musos

It was a very positive meeting at Yarramundi where new initiatives were discussed for Cursillo, including moving us more into the digital age with a 1QR card App for mobile phones, an emphasis on communication, 4th Day meeting and encouragement.

National Secretariat has also decided to assist Dioceses that are in recession (or are struggling) by running or supporting a Cursillo 3 Day weekend with their assistance.

Commissioning new Treasurer

Much discussion evolved about finances both for National and for Dioceses – and the need to encourage Dioceses and Parishes to sponsor candidates not only by support in prayer but by donating funds to remove the cost burden from them.

All agreed that Ultreya and Group Reunion played an integral part in the ongoing Mission of Cursillo – and all affirmed  that God still has a great mission for Cursillo in His Church.

The Ultreya at Richmond Anglican Church was attended by about 100 Cursillistas and it was absolutely exhilarating. Onwards & Upwards – ULTREYA !

It was held on Sunday 8/09/2019 at South Lakes Anglican Church –  about 20 attended and all thought it was very worthwhile – there were 4 speakers (Jim, Noelene, Brian & Chris) with plenty of discussion and an interesting exercise of coming up with a skit scenario from various topics. We also enjoyed the singing and the Communion service with the local Parishioners in their very beautiful Church.

WE WOULD LOVE TO C U THERE NEXT TIME…

The shortened weekend from 17-18 May 2019 at New Lambton Church was successful. Keynote Speaker was Nathan Killick. There was golf for those interested at Newcastle Golf Club on Friday 17th in which Bruce McVey’s Team won the “Championship”!!!
