The purpose of Cursillo is to help develop Christian leaders. Everyone is welcome to apply for this weekend retreat, however, Cursillo can be spiritually, emotionally and physically intense. Up to a mile a day will be walked between the facilities, dorm bunks are physically challenging and emotional situations/conditions may deter a Pilgrim's ability (or the ability of others) to experience the fullness of a weekend.

If during the course of the weekend a Pilgrim experiences difficulty walking, a golf cart may available to help transport. It should be noted, however, that Cursillo team workers are not licensed to give medical attention. If a Pilgrim has a particular condition, he/she must be able to provide self-care. Sponsorship is not a task to be taken lightly! It should be entered into as a long term commitment.

In agreeing to sponsor someone for a Cursillo weekend you are agreeing to the following responsibilities:

Pray daily for your applicant.

1. Assist in preparing him/her for the weekend (answering questions, finding child or pet sitters, etc.)

2. Arrange for his/her transportation to and from DaySpring.

3. Collect personal Palanca from family and friends of the participant and from your church.

4. Attend the Serenade and Clausura for his/her weekend.

5. Accompany him/her to the Fourth Day Gathering (scheduled approx. four weeks after the weekend)

6. Help him/her become established in a permanent Group Reunion and to attend Ultreya regularly.

7. Assure that adequate financial arrangements are made for your participant if necessary. The weekend fee of $235.00 is to be paid prior to the weekend.

We are therefore ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. 2 Corinthians 5:20 (NIV)
