Men’s 127th Cursillo Weekend
Members of the Joliet Cursillo Fourth Day Community:
I take great pleasure informing you that Jim Brewer has agreed to be the Rector for the Men’s 127th Weekend of the Joliet Cursillo. We are truly blessed with his ‘yes’ to this endeavor.
Jim has been active in the movement since making his Weekend (the Men’s 80th) in March 1991. He has worked on twelve teams including an assignment as Rector for the Men’s 95th Weekend in October 1997. He is a member of Corpus Christi parish in Carol Stream.
“I feel most inadequate to be so chosen by ‘HIM'”, related Jim. “With that in mind, the Team and I will try to do all we can to make this ‘HIS’ special time for those candidates who are given to us and to bring them one step closer to Our Lord, Christ Jesus.”
The Biblical verse that the team has discerned for the weekend’s theme is from the 139th Psalm; “LORD, you have probed me, you know me…”
“I am grateful for Jim’s ‘yes.’ “, added Fr. Matt Pratscher, Spiritual Director for both the Joliet Cursillo movement and this Men’s 127th Weekend. “Let us pray for them: may the wisdom of the Holy Spirit rain down upon Jim and the team so that through their witness the hearts of the candidates may be set on fire with the love of the Lord.”
The Men’s 127th Weekend will be held Thursday January 9th through Sunday evening January 12th 2014 at the Portincula Center for Prayer in Frankfort, IL, (aka ‘The Port’). This is the 31st Weekend held at The Port which is located at 9263 W. St. Francis Road, Frankfort, Illinois 60423 (http://www.portforprayer.org/index.php)
Jim has announced that formation activities will commence on Wednesday October 9th at 7pm at the Corpus Christi Parish facility on the lower level. Corpus Christi Parish is located at 1415 Lies Road Carol Stream, IL 60188.
