Cursillo | English Weekends | Grand Ultreyas | Filipino Weekends | Forms | Prayer Requests | FAQ  A Cursillo (pronounced KER SEE O) is a three-day learning, sharing experience of living in a Christian Community. The word "Cursillo" is Spanish, meaning "a short course." Cursillo is an abbreviation of the full title: CURSILLO DE CHRISTIANDAD, which means "A Short Course in Christian Community Living." During the three-days of a Cursillo Weekend, a person not only hears what it really means to be a Christian but actually gets to experience the joy of building and being a part of a genuine Christian Community.
