Men’s 130th Cursillo Weekend

Members of the Joliet Cursillo Fourth Day Community:

I am pleased to announce that Wally Pinas has accepted the call to be Rectora for the Men’s 130th Cursillo Weekend!

Wally is a member of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Darien and has been an active Cursillista since attending the Men’s 115th Weekend in April of 2008.  Wally has previously served on eight Weekend teams including twice as Assistant Rector.

“I am thankful and humbled to be chosen by our Lord to be his instrument. Please pray for me, the team and most of all the candidates as we undertake this journey,” stated Wally.

The Weekend will be held from Thursday October 1st through Sunday October 4th at the Dominican Retreat Center in Justice, IL.

“I’m grateful that Wally will serve the Movement as Rector for the Men’s 130th Cursillo Weekend,” added Fr. Matt Pratscher, Spiritual Director for the Joliet Cursillo.  “May the Holy Spirit guide him and the team in leading the candidates into a deeper friendship with Christ with the help of the grace offered through the Church and Her sacraments and the assistance of group reunions and Ultreyas.”

Wally has discerned the following Bible quote from James 1:22 as the theme for the Weekend:

“Be Doers of the Word”

Formation will begin in mid-July.  Further information on the times and place of team meetings will be forthcoming shortly.

If you feel called to work on this Weekend, please pray about it and consider joining Wally’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
