Cursillo Book of Remembrance
We have created a Book of Remembrance for those in our Cursillo family who have passed from this life to be with Christ. This book of names is presented at the weekend masses of Cursillo in order that our deceased family members may benefit from our prayers of intercession. At each mass we pray the Nicene Creed in which we acknowledge our belief in the Communion of Saints. One hand helps the other. May we never forget those who have gone before us “marked with the sign of faith”.
To have your loved one’s name placed in our Book of Remembrance, we need three pieces of information:
1. Name of the deceased
2. Cursillo number (if known)
3. Date of death
You may e-mail Mike Holbrook at: holbrook6@gmail.com or there will be a table set up for this purpose before the weekend masses. If your deceased family member was also involved with TEC, please provide their name to Jerry Eberhardt by calling 217-222-5333 or email: jae12@comcast.net

Cursillo Family's "Social Singles" Gathering
There are many of us "Cursillo Singles", of all ages, that would like to gather with other singles of our Cursillo family, and what greater way to do this than gather for dinner and visit and share and offer support to each other and have some fun along the way also! We will meet every Saturday of a Cursillo weekend at 5:30 pm at the Sprouts Inn on North 12th Street in Quincy, Illinois. Those of the group who wish to do so, can go from there to the Retreat Center for Mass. This is a very informal casual gathering as we want everyone to feel comfortable. Just ask for the "Cursillo Singles Group" upon arriving at Sprouts and they will help you find the rest of the group. Please call Cindy Naber at 309-221-1107 for your reservation at Sprouts and also for any questions you may have. What a great way to make new Christian friendships! Check calendar for next gathering.
