From our Diocesan Lay Director

Kia ora koutou katoa and Greetings Cursillo Family,

March already, who can believe it! I hope this finds you all in good health.

I want to update you on where things are with regard to Cursillo in the Wellington Diocese. As you may recall, the national committee, New Zealand Anglican Cursillo Council (NZAC), met on 9 February.

We all agreed there is a need for significant change, we discussed possibilities including; winding up because Cursillo has had its season, 2 day weekends, pre-weekend online courses, or maybe doing it over three single days, or non-residential in smaller parish communities, and a number of other suggestions.

We had a wonderful presentation from Rev Carolyn Robertson on how millennials receive information about their Christian faith and living in Christian community. She shared with us why a three-day weekend in its current form would be uninspiring to millennials (those people now aged 27-43). She gave us a lot of feedback on our website/international websites and how they appear to younger people.

As a result of the above and the need to hear more suggestions, each diocese has been asked to go back to their Cursillistas and “dream big.” We are likely to hold a workshop at the Wellington DDU later this year, to consider what would be best for our diocese and Cursillo nationally. Some of us have also had the opportunity to discuss possibilities with Bishop Justin and Gendy Thomson (Archdeacon for Mission and Ministry). They are very interested in how our DDU discussions go. We ask for your ongoing prayer, to assist us with the discerning the Lord’s desire for the precious gift of Cursillo.

Anna Jackson
Diocesan Lay Director.

Cursillo Weekends 2024

El Rancho, 58 Weggery Drive, Waikanae Beach, Waikanae 5036

Women’s W46 Lay Director

Men’s M46 Lay Director

This year the Cursillo weekend will have an exciting and different look. The men’s and women’s Cursillo will be held at El Rancho from Thursday, 20 June to Sunday, 23 June. Both Cursillo’s will run separately but will come together for meals, mananita and clausura. Each Team will have a separate meeting room and chapel. This will be held in Elm Court. The women’s team will use Elm Hall and the men’s team will use Fireside. This is the first time we have had a weekend where we have both Cursillo’s running at the same time at the same venue and it will be exciting to see what the Lord does through these two Cursillo’s.
