Ultreya
Ultreya meets monthly on the 4th Wednesday of each month via Zoom.

Ultreya, a Spanish word meaning Onward, is a gathering of members of the Catholic Cursillo Movement. We meet via Zoom once a month to encourage each other to keep moving onward towards the Kingdom of God. We share 3 things in this meeting.  First, Piety- our recent close moments with Christ. Second, Study- What are we doing to learn more about our faith and our God and His will for us. Third, Action- How are we using what we have and know to bring others to know Jesus Christ and our Faith, our evangelizing. Then we have a witness talk, done by different people, which tells the group how their faith walk is going and how God is working in their lives. Join us and hear speakers talk about the Cursillo Movement, to learn more about what Cursillo is and how it can impact your life.  You will learn what it is and why we as Catholics need to be involved in it. We will discuss why our Faith needs Cursillo to be a Light for the world. 

We meet via Zoom at 7 p.m. on the 4th Wednesday of each month and try to be wrapped up by 8:45.  All are welcome!
