Post Cursillo ( The 4 th Day)

The Cursillo Movement is has, from the very beginning, taken the responsibility for providing community for those who become a part of the Cursillo Movement. It is within this community where they will be understood, helped and motivated to grow and share their Christian life together. The Cursillo is able to accomplish this through the Friendship Group Reunions and the Ultreyas.

The basic purpose of the Post Cursillo is to renew, accelerate and continue the conversion of each individual who has experienced the three days. It's objective is the ongoing transformation of the environments for which those individuals are responsible. It primarily provides the means to persevere.

The Post Cursillo consists of

Ultreyas
Group Reunions
School of Leaders
Palanca

Basically, the Post Cursillo is the rest of our lives!

Each of these areas have specific sections in this website. Use the navigation bar on the left to visit each place.

"The Cursillo Movement originated within a School, and it was through the constant and coordinated efforts of the leaders of that School that it acquired its form, as well as its drive toward growth and improvement. The School then is what came first. It was the School that gave birth to the Cursillo Movement, nurtured it, and made it strong enough to survive and branch out into a full fledged movement of the Church. The School has always been and is to this day an element that is essential to the continuity and development of the Movement."

Not really. Palanca is basically the prayers and sacrifices we make for someone or something. Prayer and self-denial are palanca. The others, while they may have the name palanca, are not.

"A good yardstick of a Diocesan Movement is its attitude toward palanca, its overall focus on it, and how the spirit of it is incorporated in the lives of the spiritual advisors and lay leaders. In this regard, a concern for developing a spirit of prayer and self-denial should be the overriding factor.
