Men’s 134th Cursillo Weekend
To the Members of the Fourth Day Community:
It is my pleasure to inform all of you that John Yep has been discerned and has agreed to be the Rector for the Men’s 134th Cursillo Weekend. The Weekend will be held Thursday September 21st through Sunday evening September 24th at the Carmelite Spiritual Center in Darien.
John is a member of Corpus Christi parish in Carol Stream and made his Weekend on the Men’s 122nd in November 2011. He has worked on five teams and been an active participant in the movement.
I will let John take it from here:
“My first reaction when I received the request from Tim Moore to serve as rector For the Men’s 134th weekend was ‘Why me Lord? – I am not sure I can do this’.
“But in John 15:16 we are told, it was not you who chose me, but it was I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain. If God chose me to lead this weekend, my only response could be, ‘Yes Lord I will serve and I will trust in your grace to guide me’.
“The Theme for the weekend is from Luke 10:2 – The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few.
“I ask that you prayerfully consider your availability to work the team and also that you talk to God about sponsoring a candidate for the Weekend.
“The Core team for the Weekend will be:
John Yep Rector
Fr. Matt Pratscher Spiritual Director
Dn. Tom Thiltgen Assistant Spiritual Director
