Overview

Mission

The purpose of this corporation shall be the advancement of the christian religion. Specifically, the corporation shall, in conformity with the rules and guidelines of national council of presbyterian fourth day movements, and in cooperation with the presbytery of Mississippi and the presbyterian church (USA), organize and provide spiritual retreats that promote and conform to the principles and purposes of the cursillo movement. The aim of the cursillo movement is to equip, train, and enable people to a) understand and embrace the fundamentals of what it means to be a christian; b) discover and fulfill their spiritual vocations; and c) form core groups of christians who actively seek to evangelize their environments with the gospel of jesus christ.

What it reported doing in 2025

The primary vehicle for spiritual renewal is two spiritual retreats held in the fall and the spring each year. The program is built around praying, singing, worship, eating meals together and 15 talks given over a three-day period. Each retreat follows the same pattern. Each retreat begins thursday evening and ends on sunday afternoon. During the retreat 30-36 pilgrims and 40+ staff interact through prayer, worship, singing, talks, meals, and activities. By the end of the 3-day retreat a community has been formed. Pilgrims return to their home churches inspired and equipped to love and serve jesus in their context, but also with a large group of new friends. After the retreat, throughout the year all members who have attended a retreat are encouraged to meet quarterly for a reunion (called ultreya) at a church in our state to renew the bonds of friendship, share a meal, and worship together. Cursillo retreat weekends further the mission of the cooperation.
