Welcome
The Central Virginia Cursillo Center (referred to as the CVCC) is one of five centers in the Richmond diocese. The other four centers are Greater Hampton Roads, Blue Ridge, South West, and the Valley. The boundaries for the CVCC are from Norge in the east to Farmville in the west and Ladysmith in the north to South Hill in the south.
The CVCC holds three Cursillo weekends per year:
-
Two women's and one men’s, are held in the Greater Richmond area.
For persons who are unacquainted with a Cursillo weekend, it should be understood that the weekend is not a quiet retreat, nor is there time for recreation. Instead, the Cursillo weekend encompasses a full schedule of activities including lay and ordained talks, discussions, a reconciliation service, celebration of the Eucharist, private and communal prayer, great music, fun, and food. This is a joyful weekend sponsored by a dynamic Catholic Christian community.
If you want more information about attending a Cursillo weekend; or if you are a Cursillista that has moved to this area and looking to participate in our community activities, contact the CVCC chairperson. Thank you! DeColores!
Make a Friend - Be a Friend - Bring a Friend to Christ

A Brief History
Cursillo is a Spanish word (pronounced KUR-SEE-YO) that means, “short course”. The most formative period in the history of the Cursillo Movement extends from the first Cursillo, held during August 1944, in Majorca, Spain. The first Cursillo in the U.S. was held in Waco, Texas in 1957. By 1959 Cursillo had spread throughout Texas and into Arizona. In 1960 the Cursillo movement accelerated in the southwest and were held for the first time in the east, in New York City and in Lorain, Ohio.
