Information Ultreya


Recruiting pilgrims through one on one contact can be a lot of work.  You need to provide the same information and often answer the same questions for each person.  It can be a draining and daunting experience. 

An Informational Ultreya  enables you to 
  • provide the information and answer questions once.
  • leverage the power of groups to encourage people to go. Often people will decide to go if they know someone else who is going. 
  • draw on the energy, enthusiasm, and stories of other Cursillistas to demonstrate the life changing and enriching power of a Cursillo weekend.
  • find potential pilgrims you might not have considered, such as members who attend other services.    
  • involve your parish Cursillo community in those things that we talk about & are supposed to be doing.  Can you say Apostolic Action?

Here's what you can do
  • Have the meeting as a dinner and have the church or the Cursillo ministry at your church underwrite the dinner. 
  • Provide childcare.  When sponsoring a pilgrim, remove all obstacles!
  • Have a dynamic, energized speaker or several of them. One can give the basics of what Cursillo is all about and one or two can share stories. If you need a speaker, reach out to the commission chair, Lori Bates, who will help you find someone who will be happy to come do the talk!
  • Advertise, advertise, advertise.  Put the date and information in your bulletin, newsletter and on your Facebook page for a few weeks!
  • Consider starting off with some type of mixer activity so people get to know each other. 
  • Download, print and handout this brochure. 
  • Show the Cursillo Video
  • Have fun!
