What is an Ultreya? Who may attend? An Ultreya is a large gathering of a group of individuals who have made a Cursillo, that is, attended a Cursillo weekend, for inspiration, encouragement and support. An Ultreya usually includes singing, a witness talk, small group sharing, fellowship and of course snacks. Even if you have not yet made a Cursillo weekend, you are welcome to join us and find out more about Cursillo. Dates and places can be found on the calendar of events. |

What is a Group Reunion? Who may join one? A group reunion is a meeting of a small group of people, usually three to five, on a regular basis, to share their spiritual journeys with one another in mutual support and encouragement. Individuals who have made a Cursillo weekend are strongly encouraged to form or join a group reunion. Read more in the Rev. Joseph Walker's recent talk about the biblical foundation for group reunion. The text of a Servant Community talk on Group Reunion may be found in the Spring 2005 newsletter. |
