THE CURSILLO IS BORN
This article was written about an early Cursillo weekend in 1949.  It is not the "first Cursillo" (as the author states), but the first time that the exercises were "officially sanctioned" by the Church in Spain.

EVENTS LEADING TO CURSILLO
The birth of Cursillo was the work of the Holy Spirit, active in the lives of the Spanish founders.  Enjoy this "before-cursillo" history.

WITNESS FROM FIRST CURSILLO
Here is a wonderful account from a candidate on the very first Cursillo weekend, held on the Island of Mallorca in 1944.  It was given on the 60th anniversary celebration of the movement in 2004.  It should be noted that the author of this article shares his weekly group reunion with Eduardo Bonnin, rector of that first weekend.
