QUOTES FROM THE MEN OF CURSILLO # 239

Men’s Cursillo # 239 was held on October 2-5, 2025, at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Lloyd’s Harbor, NY. The following are quotes from our newest Cursillistas:

“The Cursillo #239, October 2025, was wonderful. A progressive growing experience which changed me. A revelation that allowed me to remove the large obstacle, myself, to a friendship with the living Jesus.”
– Gene Johann

“Life changing event. I was resistant to attend, not sure why, but it was the truth. However, this has changed my life—more importantly, my relationship with Jesus. I want to learn about the Scriptures so I can be a better Christian. I also want to get involved with my church and local community by volunteering at my church.”

“This was the closest I have come to fully knowing how much Jesus loves me. This was the greatest retreat I have ever been on. I look forward to sharing this moment with others.”
– Christopher D. Diz

“This was an uplifting experience for me. I found some peace and direction to continue my journey.”
– Robert Fogarile

“Life is meant to be lived in union with God and in community with one another.” – Jerry Johnson

“My Cursillo experience was very rewarding. I had the opportunity to meet incredible people. I was able to deepen my faith in God. I was able to release and learn ways to give back to my community.”
– Tom Barden

“The Cursillo was an amazing experience which was beyond my wildest dreams. I had no idea what to expect. I am so grateful for this opportunity.” – Ed Ayers
