Growth

Weekends

There have been two weekends since last May---October at Foxhill and in April at Savio House, Bollington. Our policy will be to continue to follow this pattern, that is to hold weekends during the weekend of Easter II held at Savio House and the half-term weekend at the end of October held at Foxhill. The last two weekends produced 28 new Cursillistas, the same number as last year, in fact. We are helping the Bradford Steering Committee by encouraging people from their diocese to come to us. Although we are a movement led by laity we do work hand in hand with our clergy friends and we need their support, and unlike last year, have not been able to encourage any of the priests from this diocese to a Weekend. We hope this will change after we have a display at the clergy conference in Swanwick.

We continue to welcome new staff members and as we now hold only 2 weekends a year we are still finding it difficult to invite Cursillistas from other dioceses to join the team whilst we still have so many people on the waiting list.

We already have two bookings for Foxhill in October this year. This seems to be the favoured venue so we pray that Foxhill will be full again this time.

Our Fourth Day Officer, Pat Riley, has held regular meetings with the Lay Rectors again this year and much has been achieved at these meetings. Communications between Ultreyas is now much improved with her encouragement, and we continue to consolidate our Fourth Day.

It was a great joy to meet so many of you at our Diocesan Lay Conference and much interest was shown in our display. Apart from the Clergy Conference, we hope to have the display at the Bishop's Course day at Tirley Garth, Tarporley, on Saturday 17th June, when Bishop Michael Langrish will be speaking.
