The
Secretariat is a body of leaders elected from the Cursillo Movement
which seeks to serve the ministry of the bishop and those of
the cursillistas by planning and coordinating how the Cursillo
Movement can fit into the diocesan pastoral plan. The proper
functions of the Secretariat are:
1. To
promote the Cursillo Movement
2. To
maintain links with the National Cursillo ( BACC )
3. To
oversee the working of the Servant Community
4. To
establish policies and procedures which will assure an active
Fourth Day
5. To co-ordinate
the campaign for Palanca
6. To
foster the spirit of the Group Reunion among the Cursillo community
Reflecting
the “servant ministry” which Jesus taught us to fulfil is perhaps
the basic key to all that the Secretariat does.
THE
SERVANT COMMUNITY
The work of the Cursillo Movement is the work
of the whole church. The Servant Community is means of distributing
that work as well a as a means of increasing the overall maturity
of the Movement through its leaders. The Servant Community then
is an essential element of any successful Diocesan Cursillo Movement.
It is the cursillo community in action, working together, studying
together and supporting each other in their service to the movement.
The
Servant Community does its work through a number of committees or
“groups”. Information and work flows between the Servant Community
and the Secretariat through these groups, supporting each other.
It is best envisaged as a wheel, with the Secretariat (hub) co-operating
with several groups (spokes) to effect a smoothly running diocesan
Cursillo movement!The Southwark Secretariat has been discussing
ways of establishing a servant community, and proposes to set up
the following “groups”, meeting probably three or four times a year,
convened by members of the Secretariat:
| WEEKEND GROUP |
To co-ordinate the
operation of each weekend |
|
FOURTH DAY GROUP |
To co-ordinate Ultreyas and help
establish/continue group reunion: to have effective links with parishes and
cursillistas |
|
STAFFING GROUP |
To co-ordinate the “staff pool” and arrange
Staff Training workshops |
| FUNDING GROUP |

subsidise activities ( e.g. regular donations, Gift Aid ) and raising awareness of need Treasurer, Lay Director |
|
COMMUNICATIONS AND |

BACC; to develop wider publicity links e.g. website Lay Director, Palanca Rep, PalancaCo-ordinator |
