Looking For Opportunities To Put Love Into Action?

Looking For Opportunities To Put Love Into Action?

Look no further. We'll be adding links here to help you investigate opportunities for service - locally, nationally and internationally.

Remember, the Cursillo movement advocates that we "bloom where we are planted" - bringing Christ's love to those people and places that are already a part of our everyday lives. It's not necessarily about doing more things, but rather about bringing more love to the things we do.

That being said, Cursillistas and Group Reunions bring a lot of love to a lot of people in a lot of different ways. We hope this page will be a resource for you if you are looking for ways to put your "love in action."

Please keep in mind that this page is a work in progress, and is very incomplete! If you have suggestions about links we could include on this page, please send us an email and let us know. We can't include everything, but we'll do our best.

De Colores!
