There were 9 parishes from around the Diocese represented at the recent ultreya at St Aidan's, East Launceston on September 12th. We basked in the warmth and brightness of the sun and of the fellowship. Mark Cox, who attended MW38 earlier this year, gave a moving and powerful Witness Talk that resonated with many of the parents present as he spoke of the deep pain experienced when things don't go as we'd hoped for our children. He reminded us of the great love that God has for our children and urged us to choose faith over fear, trusting in Jesus when we see our child suffering. The Rev Warwick Cuthbertson led us in the eucharist before we took enthusiastic advantage of the chance to catch up with others over a shared lunch. The program for the day finished with Floating Group Reunions, giving us the opportunity to share our faith journey and pray for one another in small groups.
Clockwise: Mark Cox (Witness Speaker), Ruth Thomas (MC), Margaret Brodie (Musician), Rev Warwick Cuthbertson (Spiritual Advisor), Carolyn O'Brien (Bible reader #1), David Thomas (Bible reader #2)
Our next ultreya will be held at St Barnabas Anglican Church in Newnham on Saturday November 14th. We hope to see many of you there to be encouraged and to be an encouragement to others to keep the flame of Cursillo alive in our hearts.

What a joy and privilege it was to host the 2025 National Secretariat meeting, which included our celebration of 30 years of Cursillo in Tasmania. May the Lord continue to use Cursillo powerfully in spreading his love throughout Tasmania, the Mainland and worldwide. May we all strive to change our environments by Making a friend, Being a friend and Bringing our friend to Jesus.

Three Day Weekends: Please give thanks and pray for all who attended Men's and Women's 38 in Feb/March 2026. May the Holy Spirit continue to lead them through their Fourth Day; may they continue to grow in Piety, Study and Action and may they bear much fruit in their local congregations and communities.
Ultreyas: Please keep checking this page for details of upcoming ultreyas as they become available (see dates above).
Group Reunions: Are meeting, either in person or via ZOOM. If you are not already a member of a Group Reunion, may we urge you to join one. They are the primary method of keeping the flame kindled during the Three Days burning brightly. They provide encouragement, accountability and on-going fellowship. A list of currently operating groups can be found on the Members' Resources page. Please contact the Website Coordinator or Secretary with any Group Reunion meeting detail updates.
