What are Presbyterian Cursillo and Pilgrimage? 

Cursillo - Cursillo de Christiandad - is a short course in Christianity.  It is a three day spiritual renewal retreat for men and women in which the main activity is learning about God’s love for us and Christ’s will for us.  Cursillo is a wonderful expression of God’s love, full of singing, learning, laughter, surprises, new friendships - all reflected in God’s people.

 

Cursillo is a program begun and first brought to this country by Roman Catholics. There are several Protestant versions - based on Protestant theology.  Presbyterian Cursillo and Pilgrimage are presented in accordance with reformed theology and doctrine.

 

In order for a particular program to be licensed to use the name Cursillo, it can accept only members of its own denomination.

  

Some programs have chosen to be ecumenical - accepting members of more than one denomination - and thus do not call their programs Cursillo.  Presbyterian Pilgrimage is one such ecumenical program.  Presbyterian Cursillo and Presbyterian Pilgrimage are otherwise essentially identical.
