Cursillo (pronounced ‘cur-see-yo’) began in Spain, around 1949, when a group of Spanish Christians endeavoured to recreate and encapsulate into 3-days, their experience of pilgrimage to Santiago di Compostella.  This is why there are a number of Spanish terms associated with Cursillo. Today, people who attend a Cursillo weekend continue to experience a sense of pilgrimage. They are on a journey. They don’t know who their companions will be, what adventures they will have along the way; or even where it will all lead. There is a sense of the ‘unknown’, ‘unexpected’ and ‘anticipation’. Like all pilgrimages, it is a journey in faith. God is the constant companion and there will be other pilgrims, too, of different age, ethnicity, interests, abilities etc, encouraging and helping one another along the way

 Eduardo Bonnín Aguiló, Founder of the Cursillos in Christianity Movement, has passed away.
