Lay Leadership
Cursillo Secretariat
The Secretariat is responsible for the proper functioning of the School of Leaders and the whole Movement in a Diocese. The Secretariat must ensure that the school fulfills what it is commissioned to do in each of its essential phases of the Movement; Pre-Cursillo, 3-Day Weekend, and Post-Cursillo. The members of the Secretariat are the servants of the servants; their role is to be one of simple service to the Movement.
