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
Questions? Contact a member of the Commission. That's what we are here for!
- 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!
