Secretariat 2008-2009

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Cursillo Movement is not an organization, but uses certain organizational elements in order to function and to achieve its purpose. The purpose or goal of the Cursillo Movement is to Christianize Environments. In order to have this effect on environments, the Cursillo strives to provide understanding and conviction to individuals about what is necessary for being a Christian, and to strengthen individuals so they may live out that conviction, supported by a Christian Community.

The work of the Cursillo in a diocese requires coordination by a small group of clergy and lay men and women called the Secretariat. A typical Secretariat consists of the Lay Director, the Spiritual Director, the Treasurer, and the chairpersons of the Precursillo, Cursillo, Postcursillo Committees and the chairpersons of the Leaders School and Ultreya Subcommittees. The Secretariat is responsible for all aspects of the Cursillo, although it delegates work to the various committees. The Secretariat oversees and reviews the work of the committees.

 The interim-Secretariat approved a Diocesan Pastoral Plan in November, 2005, which was presented to the Bishop and approved December 2005. The current plan was recently approved by this Secretariat August 7, 2008.  The plan can be downloaded via PDF or Word file and in the future viewed on the web.
