Men’s 128th Cursillo Weekend

Members of the Joliet Cursillo Fourth Day Community:

I am pleased to announce that Jeff Theobald has accepted the call to be Rector for the Men’s 128th Cursillo Weekend.

Jeff is a member of St. Isidore’s Parish in Bloomingdale and has been an active Cursillista since attending the Men’s 118th Weekend in November 2009.  Jeff  has served on a number of Weekend teams.  This is his first assignment as Rector.

The Weekend will be held from Thursday October 2nd to Sunday October 5th at the Dominican Retreat Center in Justice, IL.

This past May, Jeff was Confirmed at St. Raymond’s in Joliet. Afterwards, Bishop Imesch shook Jeff’s hand and said, “God has Great things planned for you”.  Less than one week later, I called to ask him to be the Rector for the Men’s 128th Weekend.  Jeff remembered the Bishop’s words loud and clear.  Already Great Things were beginning to happen!  Jeff enthusiastically and humbly accepted the call.

“The Holy Spirit is always at work in our Church, our parishes, our lives, and our movement”, observed Fr. Matt Pratscher, Spiritual Director for the Joliet Cursillo.  “May the Holy Spirit, given to the Church on Pentecost and to Jeff in Baptism and Confirmation, guide him and the team as they prepare for the Men’s 128th Weekend. May their hearts and the hearts of the candidates be set on fire by the love of Christ, and may they
grow in friendship, grace, and wisdom as disciples of the Lord.”

Jeff has announced the first formation meeting for the Men’s 128th Weekend as follows:

When: Sunday July 13th at 6:30pm
Where:  St. Isidore’s Parish <– Click Here for Map 427 West Army Trail Road, Bloomingdale

If you feel called to work on this Weekend, please pray about it and consider joining Jeff’s team.  To work on a team, you must be in active Group reunion and willing to commit to being in attendance for 10 weeks of formation meetings.

Peace,

Tim Moore
Lay Director, Joliet Cursillo
