Men’s 126th Cursillo Weekend

Members of the Joliet Cursillo Fourth Day Community:

I am pleased to announce that Bill Burke has accepted the assignment as Rector for the forthcoming Men’s 126th Cursillo Weekend.  The weekend is scheduled for Oct 3rd through the 6th, 2013 and will be held at the Dominican Retreat Center in Justice, IL.

Bill is a member of St. Walter’s Parish in Roselle, IL and made his Cursillo weekend on the Men’s 53rd in November 1979. Since then, Bill has been an active participant in the Cursillo movement having worked on 21 weekend teams including a previous assignment as Rector for the Men’s 88th Weekend in June 1994.

“It is my privilege and honor to lead the Men’s 126th Cursillo weekend,” Bill said. “I appreciate the trust and consideration of the Joliet Secretariat and look forward to taking this walk with Christ with my fellow brothers.”

We are especially glad to have Bill’s experience and insight in effect for this our first weekend at the Dominican Retreat Center. I expect this to be the first of many weekends to be held at this wonderful facility.

“I am grateful for Bill’s ‘yes’ to being rector of the Men’s 126th,” remarked Father Matt Pratscher, Spiritual Director for the Joliet Cursillo. “In these days following Pentecost, let us commend Bill, his team, the candidates, and the fourth day community to the care and guidance of the Holy Spirit. May we be set afire by the love of Christ.”

Please watch these emails and also our website (www.jolietcursillo.org) over the next several weeks for further details regarding team formation meetings. In the meantime, I ask all of you to pray for the success of this weekend and also for your discernment of candidates.

Peace,

Tim Moore
Lay Director, Joliet Cursillo
