The objective of Cursillo is to develop Christian leaders in the local church for Christian action in their homes, churches, communities, and places of work. Cursillo helps provide a way for our grace-filled lives to be lived and shared with others.

The Cursillo Movement was born in the church: it grows and develops, nourished by the wisdom of the church; it serves the church and must always have as its ultimate goal, TO BUILD UP THE CHURCH.
