Cursillo #123
Palanca for Weekend

DaySpring Conference Center

Please pray daily for the Pilgrims and the Team of this Cursillo Weekend.
Please write palanca for Pilgrims and Team.

Palanca

Palanca Bette Armon and her able assistant Bobbie Laurie work very hard to keep us up to date on Palanca going to other Cursillo communities, and to organize the Palanca that comes in for our weekends.

If you have any questions about Palanca, you can contact Bette at Mousebette@verizon.net or telephone her at (813) 779-3835.

You may give Palanca to any team member to take to the Weekend, or you may give it to a Cha-Cha, when you take your Pilgrim to the Weekend.

If you are unable to send your Palanca to the weekend with someone attending from your church, there are three other options:

  • Mail it to either of the addresses below.
  • Drop it by Bette's or Bobbie's home. (Check with them to see if they will be home, before going by.)
  • Drop it by the Cathedral in St. Petersburg, labeled for Bobbie Laurie.
Bette J. Armon
5948 Beech Street
Zephyrhills, FL 33542		 Bobbie Laurie
5341 Carolona Way, S
St. Petersburg, FL 33712

Remember, if you mail your Palanca, you need to allow about a week for it to get there.



Personal Palanca Letters

What is palanca? It means a lever, an act of sacrifice and devotion offered to God on behalf of others... like the Team and Pilgrims of a Cursillo weekend.

The single most important thing anyone can do is PRAY! The Holy Spirit changes hearts and your prayers invoke the Holy Spirit to act! There is a list of Pilgrims and Team in the DeColores Newsletter, as well as on the web site. Please use the list to pray for the Team and Pilgrims by name.

Please write personal palanca to the Pilgrims and to the Team. These personal notes can change hearts, just as other palanca can. A short, hand-written note means so much more than the most clever computer letter. God touches the Pilgrims' hearts with your messages of love. Please make sure your notes are no larger than 5" by 7". After you write your notes, please alphabetize them (separating out the Pilgrim and Team Palanca), so as to make the sorting easier.

Reminder: No gifts (books, mugs, Bibles, T-shirts, or things of that nature.) If you wish to give your Pilgrim a gift, save it until you greet them after the Weekend.

Parish Posters
Please make your Parish poster on white freezer paper (not poster board) and decorate it with your creative design, leaving lots of space for all the Cursillistas in your parish to sign. You may mail it to Bette (allowing a week for it to get there), or you may deliver it to the "Fr. P" box at DaySpring when you bring your Pilgrim to the Weekend.
