MEN’S CURSILLO FOLLOW-UP—Saturday, December 20, 2025, at Our Lady of Hope Church By Rich Grillo

December 20th was the last Men’s Cursillo Follow-Up for the year 2025. Being so close to Christmas, we had no idea of how many guys would have that day    available to join us. Slight snow falling as well to    possibly deter the guests, we had a terrific showing of thirty-three men. Three new attendees came to see what we were all about, and two of them committed verbally to   attending a Cursillo in 2026.

Joe Amato’s talk about Advent, forgiveness and self -awareness, once again, got the men thinking and digging deep during the table discussions. Group sharing proved to be       productive, as many men declared their love of God, self and others, amongst other       wonderful spiritual enlightenments. Ending  with a communal prayer service always puts a nice touch on the end of our day’s experience. Followed by pizza at Toskana on Post    Avenue in Westbury, NY, allows us free time to laugh, joke and just be  ourselves.

If you haven’t yet come to be a part of us yet, please     consider doing so. We are sure you will enjoy it. The dates for 2026 have been set. They are February 7, March 21, May 2, June 20, September 5, October 10, November 14, and December 19. Please put these dates on you      calendars or in your phones! See you guys  in the new year! DeColores!
