Diocesan Coordinator's Corner

De Colores Everyone and a Happy Autumn to all!

As we begin the month of September, we turn our thoughts to Back to School, Leaves changing colors, crisp mornings and warm afternoons, and Cursillo Fall Weekends.

Fall Weekend Teams are now in full swing with Kevin Gauthier leading the Men’s #333 weekend, taking place October 15-18, 2026, assisted by Michael Johnson and Davis Ulricson. Gloria Hayes is leading the Women’s #334 weekend, taking place November 5-8, 2026, assisted by Evelyn Cort and Stacey Cooper-Jennings. Both weekends will be held at the St. Mary Magdalen Center in Warner, NH.

Our commission as Cursillistas is to spread the Word of God and invite family and friends, co-workers and “far aways” to draw closer to Christ, perhaps through a Cursillo weekend and spiritual lifestyle of Piety, Study, and Action. We are also called to continue our own growth in the Study and Charism of the Cursillo Movement, so that we can delve deeper into the richness of the Movement that our founder, Eduardo Bonnin Aguilo, left for us.

Our School of Leaders is up and running again with Adele Rochessun as the SOL Coordinator. Our first SOL meeting will take place at St. Teresa’s parish in Henniker on Saturday, September 19^th. See the flyer on our website and if possible, print it up and post it on your parish bulletin boards. Please rsvp if you are planning to attend.

As always, we are grateful for all Cursillistas state-wide who support us in our endeavors to keep the flame of Cursillo alive in the diocese of NH. May you all have a very holy and spiritual Autumn, watching God at His finest artwork in the flora that will change to breathtaking reds, yellows, and oranges. It’s amazing that as the natural world goes to sleep for the Winter, it reminds us of the glory of God present all around us in New Hampshire.

There is, however, never a time to sleep from spreading the Gospel message or the Cursillo Movement, so please help us as St. Paul to Timothy says in 2 Tim 1:6, “"stir into flame the gift of God" and keep the flame and the gifts of the Holy Spirit alive in the NH Cursillo Movement. You are all leaders who have been given gifts to share!! 😊

De Colores!
Claudette Dachowski
NH Cursillo Diocesan Coordinator
