Cursillo Retreat 2026

The next Cursillo weekend is scheduled for October 1st through the 4th, 2026 and will once again be hosted at the beautiful Toddhall Retreat Center in Columbia, Illinois. Please consider joining for these three days as an investment in your future and a chance to help fulfill God’s intention for His world. What could be more important than a life closer to Jesus? How wonderful it is to have more words to share my faith in Him.

“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”  -John 15:9-12

Looking for a Group Reunion to try?

The blessing of a regular group reunion is at the core of 4th Day Life. Those that have been in group for a while can testify how the framework nurtures our spiritual growth, and encourages apostolic action. We can help find a group to try. Let us know how we can help HERE.

An Endowment for Springfield Cursillo

Our ministry is blessed with support from our diocese, donations, and fund-raising to keep Cursillo weekend fees affordable. This is a challenge as retreat center costs (nationally) continue to rise. An endowment could provide enough yearly support to help us operate more efficiently, and perhaps offer more financial support for candidates, team, and clergy. The Cursillo Secretariat approved the establishment of an endowment to support the ministry. Through the generosity of initial donors, we have a solid baseline to build on. Now we are looking for 20 faithful Cursillistas to pledge to donate $10 a month for the next 12 months (and beyond, if possible) to continue growing this investment in our ministry’s future.

If you would like to donate a one year lump sum, please send a check to EDSC Endowment, PO Box 707, Cairo IL 62914.
