In reflecting on the book I have just read about St. Edmund Campion, a martyr under Queen Elizabeth’s persecution of Catholics in England in 1570’s, I cannot help but see the ground work for Cursillo. Edmund was a serious student first. As a young man, he studied hard to further his own glory. He was at Oxford, a brilliant mind at a Catholic university. The government of Queen Elizabeth took over the university and threw out all things Catholic. To remain, Edmund had to take the Oath of Supremacy, which recognized Queen Elizabeth as the head of the church in England.

Cursillo is a renewal movement within the Church which offers individuals the opportunity to deepen their personal relationship with Christ in a joyful and loving Christian atmosphere and provides individuals with the means to maintain that close relationship throughout their lives. It begins with a weekend experience consisting of a series of talks by laypersons and clergy, followed by small group discussions of the talks, worship and good fellowship.
