San Jose Cursillo

Welcome to the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose Cursillo!

Cursillo is a designated "Lay Movement" of the Roman Catholic Church that normally begins with a person attending a three-day weekend retreat. The proper name is Cursillo de Cristiandad (short course of Christianity). The emphasis of the Cursillo Movement is to have people experience God’s love via a beautiful weekend and then develop a closer personal relationship with Him while personally trying to make a positive difference in themselves and the world around them: work, friends, parish, family.

We are the English language Cursillo community of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose, California. Our Cursillo Weekends are held at Saint Clare's Retreat House in Soquel, California.
