Sponsor a Candidate

1. Pray, Pray, Pray! Ask God before you ask your potential candidate – be their friend FIRST.
2. Get the application in to Pre-Cursillo as soon as possible!
3. Clear your calendar for the weekend they will be attending. AS THEIR SPONSOR YOU MUST:
  • Drive him/her to the “Cursillo Center” on Thursday night;
  • Stay for the Palanca Liturgy on Thursday night;
  • Write General Palanca and personal  Palanca for your candidate; 
    Spend time in Chapel during weekend;
  • Attend Saturday night Candlelight Mass;
  • Pick up your candidate on Sunday and be available to discuss his/her experience and answer questions he/she may have;
  • Bring them to the Teaching Ultreya
  • FIND THEM A REUNION GROUP
  • Encourage Ultreya attendance

Who should make a weekend? A friend who has the potential to be a leader. The Cursillo is about forming leaders. 

What about married couples? Ideally, couples should both make a weekend. When sponsoring married couples, you should get both applications at the same time.
