Cursillo is a program of the Church intended to help Christians learn and live what is fundamental for being a Christian.

The goal of Cursillo is to bring the world to Christ by empowering Christians through the use of a specific method, which equips and encourages them to live out their Baptismal Covenant to serve Christ.

The emphasis is on living the Christian life and transforming environments – in other words, to enable the light of Christ to shine in the corners of the world where God has put us – where we live, work, worship and socialize.

For more details visit www.niagaracursillo.org or email niagaracursillo@gmail.com
