M47 Report: “God is good all the time, All the time God is good.” Men’s 47 Cursillo was held at Rathmines from 13th to 16th September…
Back in May the germ of a new Community was formed, Men’s 47, which was Christ, the Rock, centred. This community continued to grow and was enriched by having new friends who joined and became part of that community during our time at Rathmines. We all drew closer to our Lord as we shared and learnt from each other, of things in our lives and of our experiences of pilgrimage with Jesus. I must say that on our riotous Trivia night there was concern that the table of St Matthew had some secret link to Dr Google as they consistently out scored the rest of us.However we had to accept that they had youth, beauty, age and wisdom clustered on the one table which, of course, was God’s doing. It was unfortunate that our leader, David, developed a migraine on the Sunday due to the bright sunlight in his eyes, when we went out to meditate as we watched the sun coming up. As things had been ably put in place by him, the remaining programme continued smoothly. What a great week-end, all were blessed – praise be to God! Bruce Fraser – M47 Proctor
W47 Report: What an absolute pleasure it was to be the LayDirector for W47. I have to confess that when first asked I was filled with trepidation, nerves and a feeling of inadequacy but our God is amazing and once the team was est
ablished everything fell into place.
We were the first Cursillo weekend to be held at the Catalina Conference Centre at Rathmines and I must say it worked perfectly. The beautiful lake front venue, Peter the obliging manager and catering by ” Grinners” meant we were well looked after.
We were definitely covered by the Holy Spirit as the transformation of our 9 lovely candidates unfolded over the weekend. A strong and supportive team was an added bonus for me and I am very grateful to all for their patience, love and prayers.
