Cursillo Info for Happeners
I’ve seen an amazing transformation in my child!
Yes, your child may look and sound different as he/she continues to process and live out the Christian love and community they have found here at Happening.
I wonder if that could happen to me?
“YES!”
Happening originated in Dallas, Texas in the mid-1970s when some high school-aged teens saw the change that CURSILLO created in their parents’ lives and wanted to have the same transformative experience. Because their children were not old enough to attend a Cursillo weekend, the parents decided to create a program for their teens based on the Cursillo model, but in a format relevant to high school students, and Happening was born.
What is Cursillo?
Cursillo is a Spanish word meaning “short course,” or in this case “A Short Course in Christian Living.” Cursillo is an opportunity for adults to gain a deeper understanding of the teachings of Jesus and how we can serve him. Participants will have a weekend similar to their high schoolers experience of Happening – a series of talks and responses, great Christian community, and some wonderful surprises.
