Cursillo Weekends at Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Parish

Cursillo is an exploration of Christianity, valuable for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the faith.

It empowers Christians to expand spiritually through prayer, study, and action, fostering the ability to share God’s love with others.

Our Lady of Seven Sorrows, an Indigenous Parish in Maskwacis, Alberta, is planning to host a series of Cursillo weekends, inviting women, men, and youth to embark on a journey of spiritual discovery. Participants will be guided by leaders and Elders and will explore fundamental aspects of Christian life and faith. Through group workshops, prayer sessions, and moments of quiet reflection, attendees will have the opportunity to deepen their spiritual insights and build meaningful connections with others on a similar journey.

Supported by funding from the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund (IRF), Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Parish can ensure that these weekends are accessible to all, covering expenses like hall rentals, food, and honorariums for facilitators and Elders over the course of 12 months.

Cursillo weekends offer a unique opportunity for individuals to come together in pursuit of spiritual growth, community building, and cultural enrichment. They are a journey of healing, reconciliation, and profound spiritual connection that foster a sense of unity and purpose within the community.
