WOMEN’S CURSILLO #290 — July 27-30, 2023, AT THE SEMINARY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION. HUNTINGTON, NY By Ann Marie Dodd
On the weekend of July 27-29, 2023, twenty-two women came to experience an encounter with Christ and deepen their relationship with our loving God at the Seminary in Huntington. Truly God was moving in this place. As the candidates offered their personal thanks to God in their Chapel visits, God offered His sign of covenant to us –
“Though the mountains be shaken, and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.” (Isaiah 54:10)
It was such a blessing to have such a team of dedicated, faith-filled women who live their 4th day and continue to bring Christ to others. A great team of women came to serve this weekend. Our Rectora, Theresa McHugh, led the women throughout the weekend with a peaceful and gentle presence. Our table team consisted of Cathy Klimar, Anne Flood, Donna Wendelken, Ede Moscioni, Jacqueline Korsen, Kristine Hernandez, Laura DeMartin, Lisa Eastwood, and Chris Healy and Rosemary Maikis who graced us as walk-ons. These women walk their talks. The Angel Team was led by Head Angel Marie Morra along with Dany Smith, Paola Borja and Patti Orr (who joined us from Florida). Their loving service and attention to the candidates earned them their halos. And joining us was past Rectora (and Rectora for our November weekend) Silvia Madison. Our Spiritual Team included Beth Barker, Chris Anest, Jo Anne Ayers and Angie-Lee Vazquez. What a collaboration of remarkable women who live their lives in friendship with God and reflect His love to everyone on a weekend. A weekend cannot happen without the help of our St. Paul’s Community who sponsor these candidates, come to greet, offer prayers and Palanca, and joyfully join us in welcoming the newest Cursillistas to their 4th Day at the Closing. We appreciate each of you! It is always amazing to experience the love in the room. Their witness to the weekend was inspirational. And the joy continued…some thoughts about the 1 month reunion…
