Exciting Update on Cursillo #152 – Join Us in Prayer and Support!
Dear Southwest Florida Cursillo Community,
We are thrilled to share that the first team meeting for Cursillo #152 was a resounding success! The energy in the room was electric as we gathered for hearty breakfast and lunch, broke into small groups, and connected in fellowship.
The music team brought incredible enthusiasm, setting the tone for a transformative weekend, and we finalized key adjustments to ensure everything is ready for September 25–28, 2025.
Our team is complete, and now we need your help to fill the weekend with pilgrims! This promises to be a powerful, life-changing experience, perfect for those in your congregation ready to deepen their faith and enliven your church community. Get a Pilgrim Application Here
Please reach out to your clergy to assist in inviting and registering new pilgrims who will thrive in this vibrant atmosphere.

We ask for your prayers for our dedicated team (listed below) as they prepare to serve. Stay tuned for the pilgrim list, which will be shared soon for Palanca writing and prayers, along with a prayer vigil sign-up.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers as we prepare for this Spirit-filled weekend!
De Colores,
Russell Tuff
