| The Cursillo movement is for: - Those seeking a renewal of faith
- Those who wish to become more effective leaders for Christ
- Those wanting to be supported in continued Christian growth
- Those who are seeking Christian community
The Cursillo Movement originated in Spain; hence, many of the terms used are Spanish. The term "Cursillo" is an abbreviation for the full title "Cursillo en Christianidad" which means "A short course in Christianity". It is a method of preparing and continually supporting Christians as they live out their commitments to Christ in their homes, parishes and workplaces. It begins with a 3-day long weekend retreat which consists of many talks that together give a short course in Christianity. After the weekend, the movement continues with small reunion group meetings and larger Ultreya meetings to support the members of the movement in their life with Christ.
