The heart of our work and mission as a church is to invite all people into a deep, living relationship with God through Jesus Christ and to bring them into the community of those who share in that faith. It is also to provide nurture for that relationship within the community of God’s people so that we may live lives that bear witness through word and action to God’s love, justice and mercy in this world. The Cursillo movement is a tool, a method that can be used within the life of the Church to assist in accomplishing these things. In the Diocese of Qu’Appelle we have been directing our attention to four pillars or building blocks to focus our efforts in renewing the life and work of our parishes and diocese. Small group ministry (enabling a more personal and immediate context for sharing in prayer and study with one another), outreach and evangelism are three of those four. Having been involved with Cursillo since 1983, I have experienced first hand how these three are strengthened by this movement.
