The Tree of Cursillo - September 19, 2026

A small but mighty group met to reinvigorate the NH school of Leaders.  With Adele Rochussen at the helm, we listened to a lay talk on the Tree of Cursillo and a spiritual talk on Kerygma. We began and ended with prayer.  To read an article about The Tree of cursillo, visit this link: The Tree of Cursillo Maintaining Its Clear and Simple Profile


After reading the above article, Adele gave a lay rollo on how her “Tree” has taken shape.  We should all consider ways to nurture the seed planted by cursillo, be sure our roots are deep in faith, and our branches reach out to the various environments we encounter.  A couple folks brought up some other things to add to the analogy - including the need to prune, and how trees provide nourishment for other living things.  We took time to small group after the talk - to share ways we are following the tripod.


Father Marcel Martel, who was happy to host this meeting, gave a spiritual talk on Kerygma - the story of our faith.  He encouraged us to start with the good news - that God loves each of us. There can be no conversion without that knowledge.  Various members of the group offered ideas for topics to discuss in the future including sponsorship, ways to spread the cursillo message and announcements further, and palanca.

We will be presenting at the weekend ultreyas at Magdalene October 18, and November 8 at 2:00pm.  Future meetings to be announced soon.  Expect a zoom or two for the winter months.
