Our witness speaker, Pip Nielsen, spoke of the inexpressible joy of her Cursillo Weekend (MW38) and her subsequent increasing confidence in sharing her faith.
With many thanks to the local Cursillistas who hosted us and to Anne French who was our musician for the day. Our Spiritual Advisor, the Rev Dr Lee Weissel, referred to the challenges the Diocese of Tasmania is facing and urged us to respond to them by praying without ceasing and by sharing God's love impartially.

Ruth Thomas introduced our DLD-elect, Alice Cordwell, who revealed how the Spirit prompted her to take on the role. Ruth also farewelled an enthusiastic and active Cursillista, Annette Sims, who is moving interstate and will be greatly missed. Margaret Brodie again highlighted the importance of regular Group Reunions. After enjoying fellowship over lunch, we gathered for floating Group Reunions, then finished with Communion.
The next ultreya is to be held once again at St James Anglican, New Town on July 4th, with Bishop Richard as our witness speaker.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Praise God for the MW38 weekend and please continue to pray for the team and new Cursillistas that the Holy Spirit will continue to lead them through their Fourth Day.

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.
Our 30th Anniversary celebratory dinner, October 25th, 2025.

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.
See below position descriptions for Secretariat roles that you may wish to consider prayerfully.
