The heart of the three-day weekend is a set of talks called "rollos." Listening to others share stories centered on Christ helps everyone to grow in their own understanding of the holy. The atmosphere is one of joy and Christian fellowship, of learning and listening, of reflection and preparation. Participants return empowered to better serve their church, their community, and the world. Our weekends, which begin on Thursday evening and finish Sunday afternoon, are held twice a year in the mountains east of San Diego.

San Diego Episcopal Cursillo Weekends are for Episcopalians and Lutherans (ELCA) within the San Diego diocesan area. The person who invites you to attend Cursillo is your sponsor. Your sponsor will guide you through the process, get you to the venue and back, pray for you, follow up with you afterwards, and answer your questions concerning the weekend.

Shortly after the weekend, new Cursillistas and their sponsors, various team members, and leaders of Cursillo gather at a local church for a Day of Deeper Understanding. The reunion is an opportunity to re-connect, share and learn more about the Cursillo Community they are now a part of. Lunch is provided.
A Grand Ultreya is held twice a year, usually in May and November. The entire Community is invited to share a meal, sing, hear short personal talks, and more.The leader of the next Cursillo Weekend is announced at this event, and in November, new members are elected to the Secretariat.
Plan to attend both!
