2016 National Encounter

To the Fourth Day:

I am thrilled to announce that the 2016 National Encounter will be held in our own Joliet Diocese at Lewis University in
Romeoville, IL! [MAP]

For those of you unfamiliar with this annual event, think of it as a three-day National Ultreya Grande for Cursillistas from all over the United States.  This year’s event was held at Villanova University (near Philadelphia) and featured a range of impressive speakers, workshops and a fiesta!  A number of Cursillistas attended this year’s Encounter from our diocese and I was privileged to be in that number.  I can attest that
attendance is well worth-while.

The 2016 event will be held from Thursday August 4th through Sunday August 7th.  Registration is through the National Cursillo website and will commence on January 15th, so mark your calendar or set an alarm on your phone to remind you to register.  Attendance is limited to 600 and the event can be expected to sell out.

Following below are several links describing the 2015 National Encounter so you can get a sense of the event.
