“Christ is Counting on You”

The first Cursillo team meeting was held at Church of the Nativity and started with a beautiful rainbow. The team is complete and filled with faithful and spirit-filled leaders who are anxious to use their time and talents for the glory of God.

Although the team for 154 “Seek ye First” is complete and on our way to a smooth and spirit- filled weekend, we still need you. Consider helping by using your time and talents to grow this community with prayers, sponsoring a candidate or donating much needed green palanca. (See Set-Up Info by Clicking Here)

Remember what your weekend meant to you and know this weekend will more than likely change someone else’s life. Christ is counting on you!

De Colores!

Greetings from the Secretariat:

 I hope this message finds you well and blessed. The Secretariat would like to share some significant updates regarding recent changes within our leadership.

 As of Saturday, February 17, 2024, Dorothy Lowrie has resigned from her role as Lay Director to prioritize her health and engage in rehabilitation. We are grateful for Dorothy’s unwavering dedication and commendable efforts in rebuilding our ministry post-COVID. Her contributions have been invaluable, and she will be sincerely missed.

 In light of these changes, the Secretariat has elected Candy Newman as the new Lay Director to complete the remaining term, which concludes in September. We extend our gratitude to Candy for accepting this responsibility and are confident in her ability to lead.

 Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me or any member of the Secretariat. We appreciate your understanding and support during this transition.

 DeColores,

Candy Newman
