St. John Neumann Catholic Church

As a Cursillista, I wholeheartedly endorse the Cursillo Movement in our diocese.  On March 20, 1980 I had the privilege to take part in a Cursillo and found it a spiritually moving weekend, a time to deepen my awareness of Jesus' love for me and my commitment as a priest.  Since then, I have served as a Spiritual Director on three other Cursillos.  Please know that this encounter with Jesus has my full endorsement.  Those who enter into the weekend experience in an open way will be renewed in all aspects of life.  While carving out a "free" weekend is a challenge in our fast-paced world, be assured it will be well worth the sacrifice.  As our Catholic Church seeks ever to renew ourselves in our faith, I have found no better way for an adult to be renewed in the Lord than the Cursillo.  Those who take part will be more deeply a vibrant member of our Church and all will benefit.  If you have not made a Cursillo, please take the step and discuss your readiness with a team member.  You will not regret it and our Church will be ever grateful.  Yours in Our Lord, Most Reverend Joseph E. Kurtz, D.D.
