Purpose of the Cursillo Movement

The purpose of the Cursillo Movement is to bring the Good News that God loves us by the best possible means, Friendship. The Cursillo Movement is a method to bring Jesus Christ into the world and build a Christian Community for Cursillistas. Cursillistas (those who have experienced the 3-Days) become the instrument for change in the places they spend time by being Christ-Like in their thoughts, words and actions. change in their families, neighborhoods, parishes, work situations, social gatherings, etc.  The Cursillo attempts to make it possible for anyone in the world to live a Christian life in a natural way.   

Since it is a movement of the Church, the Cursillo Movement has the same apostolic purpose as the Church. As Pope Paul VI has said, “..the Church exists to evangelize.” The Cursillo Movement provides the means to accomplish this evangelization.  The aim of the Cursillo movement is to prepare men and women to go forth as apostles and proclaim the Gospel. It provides the Cursillistas (those who have experienced the 3-Days) with the training and the tools needed to sustain their mission on earth.
