Purpose of The School of Leaders

A business, organization, or in our case the Cursillo movement, is only as good as its leaders. As the 1998 Leaders Manual states, "The School of Leader's, like a school of fish, is the gathering together of leaders (or fish). The School is designed to accentuate the Cursillo Movement..."

You don't have to be a leader to attend. Leadership is a trait that you can learn and the School of Leaders is one place where you can learn Cursillo leadership.

From the 1998 Leaders Manual, the School of Leaders has the following 9 purposes:

1. Study and prioritize the various environments within the diocese;
2. Determine the influential (key) people within those environments;
3. Assist other cursillistas in determining key people within their own environments;
4. Prepare those Cursillo leaders that will have the responsibility of leading the candidates through their three-day experience;
5. Channel the restlessness of all those who have made Cursillo into a progressive state of conversion;
6. Establish, help to sustain, test and encourage all the Group Reunions;
7. Establish teams to prepare for and perfect the Ultreyas;
8. Introduce people from the Pre-cursillo into the Post-cursillo by means of the Three Days, and;
9. Insure the authenticity and integrity of the Cursillo Movement is maintained throughout all three phases (Pre-cursillo, 3-Days, and Post-cursillo).
