Ultreya
Ultreya meets monthly on the 4th Wednesday in St. Francis Hall in the 8th grade CCD room.  Ultreya, a Spanish word meaning Onward, is a gathering of members of the Catholic Cursillo Movement. We meet once a month to encourage each other to keep moving onward towards the Kingdom of God. We share 3 things in this meeting, along with snacks and drinks. 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. It is done in a loving and relaxed atmosphere and all are welcome. We meet at 7 p.m. on the 4th Wednesday of each month and try to be wrapped up by 8:45. Come join us!
