Jesus said,
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 8:20)
and Paul urged,
".. let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together .... but encouraging one another..."
(Hebrews 10:24-25)

National Cursillo Secretariat Meeting
Cleveland, Queensland, Oct 16-18th, 2026
There were 6 Dioceses represented at the National Secretariat meeting in October 2026. The gathering was a valuable time of reflection upon our theme of Pilgrims Together and what that means for each Diocese. We shared ideas, resources, successes and challenges as well as enjoying warm fellowship with one another and time with God in worship.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the Rev Dr Lee Weissel de-commissioned Kay Self and commissioned his wife, Raelene, as National Secretary, then the Rev Joy Harris as the incoming National Spiritual Advisor. Joy then de-commissioned Lee. We give sincere thanks for the time, energy and enthusiasm that Kay and Lee have devoted to National Cursillo over the past 3 years and pray that the Lord will continue to use them powerfully to influence the environments in which he has placed them.
On the Saturday evening we shared a meal with local Cursillistas and were inspired by the guest speaker, Valerie Hoare.
On Sunday, we joined the local Anglican congregation at St Paul's, Cleveland, for their morning service and fellowship afterwards.
We were excited to have Geoff Wooden from Newcastle Diocese elected unopposed as the new National Lay Director to take over from Paul Doyle at the meeting in 2027.
With heartfelt thanks to Marg Carr and the Southern Queensland Cursillistas for organizing the gathering and giving us such a warm welcome.
Please note below the addition of our New Zealand neighbours so we can support our extended Cursillo family 'across the ditch'.
