DeColores, Brothers and Sisters,

I am pleased to announce that Women’s Cursillo #63 has been

scheduled for January 17 through 20 at the Basilica of Our Lady

of Mount Carmel, Via Mt. Carmel in Youngstown. The Women’s

Team was discerned in September, and the Team Formation

began on Monday, October 5th at St. Luke Church in Board-

man. Sandy Joyce is the Rector and Carol Clemente Wagner is

the Assistant Rector. On page two of this newsletter also is the

list of who is on the Team. Please begin to pray and offer Palanca for these women

and our new friends, the candidates. It is not too late to sponsor a candidate for the

weekend. Please get those applications in to me or any Secretariat member as

soon as possible. See the list of Secretariat members on the left side of this page.

More details coming in the next newsletter in about a week. Also, we will need

your help for the weekend… all weekend long. Setting up, cover chapel, kitchen,

on you.”

Yours in Christ,

Loretta Nagel

A Request from

Laurie Kramer

PAGE 4

As you know, the women’s weekend is coming up in January and I am looking for help with the kitchen.

I know it seems early, but the holidays will be here and over very soon, so it would be nice to plan

ahead. The Cursillo community is always welcome and needed in the kitchen to help prepare food, do

some cooking, set the dining tables and color napkins and tablecloths. Please join us!

Also, please let me know if you will be bringing a dessert and for which meal that will be.

Anyone who like t help is asked to please call Laurie Kramer at 330-720-7987.

Thank you and DeColores!

DONATIONS NEEDED

The Youngstown Cursillo Secretariat is asking for monetary donations for the following:

1.) New Vessels

2.) Wire and drape. (This past weekend we rented pipe and drape to seclude areas for

dining, sleeping and cover chapel.) We would like to consolidate the resources we have

for both monetary and transport reasons.

3.) Update the closing booklets and print new ones.

Please consider contributing to the success of spreading God's word and works through

the tools that were given to you during your Cursillo weekend.

Remember, Christ is counting on you.

Sponsor Confidential Form

MUST ACCOMPANY CANDIDATE APPLICATION*.

Name of Candidate ________________________________ ________________________________ ___________

How long have you known him/her? _________(years)

What is your relationship?________________________________ ________

What environment(s) do you share? ________________________________ ______________________________

· Have you brought your candidate to your Group Reunion or to Ultreya? □ Yes □No

· Have you explained to your candidate the Cursillo movement and the expectations of the 4th Day? □ Yes □No

· Do you recommend your candidate as table secretary? □ Yes □No

As a sponsor**, it is very important that you know your candidate.

Talk to God about your candidate BEFORE you talk to your candidate about God.

Because this is an intense, emotional experience, we urge you to consider any serious issues in your candidate’s life, and suggest

that your candidate waits at least two years have passed if he/she has recently experienced the following:

· separation or divorce · death in their immediate family · treatment of any kind for emotional or mental illness

· rehabilitation or recovery programs for drug, alcohol or other behavioral addiction · serious legal troubles

Has your candidate experienced any issues as listed above within the past two years? □Yes □No

If yes, explain on the back of this form, or on a separate sheet of paper. Please list any physical conditions as well.

Sponsors, please discuss these issues with the Youngstown Cursillo Center’s Spiritual Director and

his/her parish priest before inviting this candidate to participate in a weekend.

SPONSORS ARE OBLIGATED TO ASSIST WITH THESE ISSUE(S) DURING AND AFTER THE WEEKEND IF NECESSARY.

To the best of my knowledge, this candidate should be able to receive the sacraments of reconciliation and/or Eucharist.

Parish Priest Signature________________________________________________________________

As a Sponsor, your duties include: Reading the sponsor guidelines.

· Providing transportation to and from the weekend for your candidate.

· If candidate’s spouse is non-Catholic, inviting the spouse to participate in all community activities surrounding the weekend.

· Contacting and encouraging relatives and friends of your candidate who are Cursillistas to participate in all community activities surrounding

the weekend.

YOUNGSTOWN CURSILLO SPONSOR GUIDELINES

The Cursillo is a method for living, sharing and spreading Christianity. For this method to be effective, there are specific

requirements that must be met. Therefore, sponsorship is a serious responsibility. Before you fill out an application, con-

sider these two questions:

1.Will my candidate both benefit from the weekend AND be faithful to the expectations of the Fourth Day?

2.Is my candidate capable of and likely to use the tools of Group Reunion, Ultreya and spiritual direction to

persevere in his or her Fourth Day?

In selecting a candidate, seek out individuals who would exert a positive influence in their environments. The ideal

candidate isn’t necessarily active in his or her parish already. Consider potential candidates who express a deep desire

and hunger for spiritual growth and contentment, and who are currently living their Catholic faith to the best of their

ability.

Other guidelines to follow when selecting a candidate:

If you have been an active Cursillista for less than one year, please ask either your sponsor or an experienced Cursillista

to co-sponsor your candidate. Obtain permission from Pre-Cursillo chairperson and/or Lay Director to sponsor more

than two candidates for the same weekend. Seek out the advice of the Youngstown Cursillo Center’s Spiritual Director

and/or candidate’s Parish Priest inviting your candidate if he or she has experienced within the last two years any of the

following:

· divorce or separation · death in the immediate family · treatment of any kind for emotional or mental issues

· rehabilitation or a recovery program for drug, alcohol or other behavioral addiction · serious legal troubles

As a sponsor, your responsibilities before, during and after the Cursillo are as follows:

· Explain the Cursillo as a short course in Christianity, and also explain the expectations of the Fourth Day.

· Bring your candidate to your Group Reunion or to Ultreya prior to the weekend.

· Explain to your candidate that the $75 cost is a suggested donation and should not be a deterrent.

· Complete the application with your candidate—do not hand the application to your candidate to fill out and mail in.

Complete the Sponsor Confidential Sheet on your own. Submit both forms to your Parish Representative. If at all possi-

ble, fill out both spouse applications simultaneously for all married candidates.

· Provide transportation for your candidate to and from Cursillo. This is very important, as your candidate will be tired at

the end of his/her weekend. NOTE: If you are on the team and sponsoring a candidate, arrange for someone to drive

your candidate to and from the weekend.

· Avail yourself to your candidate’s family for church, shopping, meals, babysitting, or any other personal needs. If your

candidate has few or no outside needs, be sure to be there to help during the weekend.

· If your candidate’s spouse is not Catholic, it is your responsibility to invite him or her to participate in all community

activities surrounding the weekend.

· After the weekend, accompany your candidate to the post-Cursillo seminar and to Ultreya.

· Be available to answer any and all questions regarding the Cursillo Movement that your candidate may

have.

· Help your candidate utilize the Cursillo tools to persevere in his or her environment.
