The Joliet Cursillo typically operates four weekends a year in English—two for men and two for women. The weekends scheduled below will be held at the Carmelite Spiritual Center (CSC) in Darien, IL. Weekends begin on Thursday evening and run through Sunday evening.

Attendance at a weekend requires an application and a sponsor.

Our Weekend Application may be found on the Pre-Cursillo page. Please print it and send it to the PO Box on the form.  See the Parish Coordinator Listing if you’re in need of a sponsor.  They will help you.
