The Deacon’s Beacon
August 2010
In the Leader’s Rollo it states: a Christian Leader is one who, having heard Christ’s call, influences others guiding them to encounter Christ. A Cursillo Leader therefore is a person who puts all of their abilities in the service of Christ.
All Cursillistas are leaders. We just need to find ways to maintain our commitments and the excitement felt on our 3-day weekend. One of the best ways to do that is to attend our School of Leaders. As leaders, our responsibility within the School of Leaders is to seek to be more centered. To nourish what is fundamental for being a Christian among ourselves, in the Cursillo Movement, and in our daily lives. The School of Leaders is not a factory to produce rollos or rollistas. It is not a school of catechism or a center of pastoral studies. It is above all a group and a way to persevere in our Fourth Day. It is Christianity in Action. Therefore consider attending our School of Leaders which now meets at La Purisima Parish in Orange on the second Saturday of each month.
De Colores,
Deacon Doug
Calling All Cursillistas!
August 2010
YOU ARE INVITED!
CURSILLO REGION XI FALL 2010 ENCOUNTER: October 1-3, 2010
Diocese of Fresno Pastoral Center, 1536 N. Fresno St., Fresno, CA 93703
Please see the below "paraphrased" invitation to ALL Cursillistas that I recently received from our Regional Coordinator, John Casarez:
Blessings,
As you may or may not know, the Fall Regional Encounter is open to all Cursillistas. Please notify, encourage, and invite your Cursillo Community to attend the Regional Encounter. It is a great opportunity to experience the Movement outside of one's own diocese and to experience a oneness with the larger Cursillo Community in our region and beyond.
Rooms will only be reserved at the Pastoral Center with payment. Since rooms are limited at the Center, rooms will be assigned in the order the payments are received - $55 for the entire weekend. Applications without payment will not reserve you a room. If you do not plan on staying at the Center, the cost is reduced to $35 for the weekend, which does include meals. You may pay this at the Center with your application on Friday.
A side note, the application indicates the Weekend concludes at 10 am Sunday; this may change to a later time. An agenda for the weekend will be emailed to you at a later date so you may plan accordingly.
YBIC,
John Casarez,
REC: (909) 888-0416 (home)/(909) 534-8615 (cell)
The application for the Encounter is posted on our website here ... or feel free to contact me at mblasi@socal.rr.com or John Casarez for questions and/or guidance. Application deadline is September 15, 2010! I have personally attended a Regional Encounter in the past...and I assure you it is a wonderful experience…full of Cursillista JOY!
Remember, "Christ is Counting on You!"
DeColores!
