"Cursillo" - Many members of our parish are involved in the Cursillo Movement. This weekend "retreat" (actually a 'little Course in Christianity") happens about once a year in our diocese, and is followed by monthly "Ultreyas", or get-togethers, to nurture the beginnings made on the Cursillo Weekend. Ultreyas are held at St James from time to time. Everyone is welcome to attend these gatherings, whether or not they have made a Cursillo.

"Youth Challenge" is the youth version of the Cursillo Movement and features the same experience of Christian community but led by committed and knowledgeable young people of our Diocese. For more information speak to the Rector.
