Upcoming weekends

At the last Secretariat meeting, held at St. Crispin's January 25/26, we decided to hold two weekends in the Fall (pending space available). The first, a co-ed weekend, will occur September 17-20. Lay Rector will be Bud Johnson, Assistant Lay Rector Dion Crider. The second weekend will follow one week later: September 24-27, it will be Hispanic, and will be led by Lay Rector Cuco Escalero; his assistant is not yet known. These will be #s 117 and 118. First, though, we need to concentrate on #116, scheduled March 27-30. The Lay Rector is Glen Boyer, St. Andrew's, Lawton, who replaces Lauri Watkins.

Please note that a Day of Deeper Understanding will be held on April 26th, 2008, at Emmanuel, Shawnee. We hope that the new Cursillistas and many 'old' ones will attend. DDU starts at 10 a.m. and should be over by 3:00 p.m.

The new 'digs' at St. Crispin's are wonderful and will serve Cursillo weekends very well. We think that conference room A will be the Rollo room; conference room B will be the chapel; conference room C will be Palanca chapel; and conference room D will be the Team room. The new 'lounge,' which has a full kitchen, will serve well for the Agape meal...unless they fill it with a bunch of tables and utilities. We will continue to eat in the old dining room, and the 'old' lounge will be available for evening programs.

It appears that the rates for Cursillo weekends at St. Crispin's will rise. We don't yet know the new rate schedule. If you have "extra money," please remember that Cursillo is always seeking money for scholarships.

DeColores!
