- The Secretariat
The Cursillo Secretariat is the group of leaders – priests and lay people – who orient, animate, and serve the Cursillo Movement. Leaders are presented by the council and appointed by the bishop, The Secretariat:
- Studies environments to be Christianised
- Focuses the efforts of Cursillo leaders to bring Christ into those environments
- Raises up leaders for the three-day weekends.
- Promotes unity, love, and trust among cursillistas
- Promotes and models a vital expression of the Cursillo method – especially Group reunions.
- Seeks, through prayer and study, the guidance and blessing of the Holy Spirit for the Movement as a whole.
The Secretariat also maintains ties with the National Episcopal Cursillo. It is responsible for announcing scheduled Weekends to the wider Cursillo Community and inviting them to offer prayer (palanca) for the Weekend.
Members of the Secretariat should be:
- in a weekly Group Reunion
- active in the Fourth Day
- active in their parish church
- active in the diocese as a whole
The membership of the Secretariat should be rotated to guard against the development of a “Cursillo Career” mentality and to train new leaders.
