Cursillo
|
Cursillo is a movement within the Catholic Church. The purpose of the movement is the Christian leavening of environments achieved through natural leaders, preferably in groups. This is done by providing them with the means to live and share what is fundamental to being a Christian, so that, through the impact of their personality, they may inject the spirit and sense of Gospel into those factors that actively shape environments.
