Presbyterian Cursillo-Presbyterian Pilgrimage 

Spiritual Renewal Retreats

What support is available to a new Presbyterian

Cursillo or Pilgrimage community?

1.  Sponsoring Community:  The community that sponsors your group in forming a new Presbyterian Cursillo or Pilgrimage community will provide a lot of help.  In addition to providing a trainer - see "How it's Normally Done"  - it will accept your people in it's weekends (there may be limits as to the number you can send each time), train your people by letting them work staff, provide a lot of resources for your earliest weekends and provide people to help staff your first weekend or two.  They will also help in other ways which you'll understand later.

2  National Council:  Our National Council will help out in many ways -  to include providing song texts and contacts for you to license them.  The National Council will have approved your trainer, will provide information about your community to the other communities.  Much of what the National Council does is bound up in some of the surprise elements of the weekend.  If you've attended a Cursillo weekend, you'll have some understanding of this.

3. Other Sources:  Other sources of support might include your own congregations or Presbytery as well as other local Cursillo type groups.
