Presbyterian Cursillo-Presbyterian Pilgrimage
Spiritual Renewal Retreats

What’s the difference between Presbyterian
Cursillo & Pilgrimage?
Presbyterian Cursillo and Presbyterian Pilgrimage spiritual renewal retreats are alike in all major respects except one:
Presbyterian Cursillo is subject to the terms of the license agreement that allows it to use the name Cursillo.
The principal restriction is that Presbyterian Cursillo may allow only members of a Presbyterian Church to
participate in its Cursillo weekend retreats.
Presbyterian Pilgrimage groups have chosen not to be bound by that requirement and thus do not use the
Cursillo name.
Presbyterian Pilgrimage accepts members of any Christian church in its Pilgrimage weekend retreats.
There are twelve Presbyterian Pilgrimage groups at present in nine states. There are also twelve active
Presbyterian Cursillo groups in nine states. There are other Pilgrimage and Cursillo groups in various
stages of preparation.
The butterfly is a symbol of Presbyterian Cursillo and the rooster is a symbol of Presbyterian Pilgrimage.
