Welcome to Cursillo Southern Queensland

(Brisbane) Diocese 2024.

 

Cursillo Southern Queensland is a far-reaching ministry of the Anglican church. The diocese of Southern Queensland is widespread and covers an area of more than a half a million square kilometres, from Bundaberg in north central Queensland to Coolangatta on the New South Wales border and west to the borders of South Australia and the Northern Territory.  Cursillistas abound in parishes from the beautiful beaches on the coast, through fertile plains, upward to the mountains and further inland to the iconic outback. Since 1985, over 3800 Cursillistas have participated in weekends, and many are still actively engaged in parish life and working in the wider community.

 

Diocesan Secretariat and Servant community members are also hundreds of kilometres apart, and so, with the one benefit from Covid days, meetings are held via Zoom. Nationally, and despite the distance aspect for Secretariat and Servant Community, we are still a very active diocese. Cursillistas also joyfully travel to Ultreyas and this year we have a new parish on board with their exciting Moreton Ultreya on August 24 at Carindale. Following this will be the Peninsula Ultreya on October 12 and finally, the Diocesan Ultreya on November 2 at Sherwood.

 

Travelling to visit other towns/provincial cities has been a tradition over the decades and this year was no exception. The biennial Pilgrimage was held in May and involved over 70 Cursillistas visiting parishes from Grovely (Brisbane) to Esk (Brisbane Valley). Driving in convoy to Warwick, a rural town southeast Queensland and returning via Boonah included a visit to the historical Boonah Harrisville Museum. There were three memorable aspects to this Pilgrimage. Firstly, the overwhelming support from all parish clergy and parishioners, providing music, stimulating services and abundant catering along the way. Secondly, the opportunity of catching up with Cursillistas on their territory and lastly, the delight of the participants as they embarked on this journey and participated in a Treasure Hunt along the way. There literally was a multitude of companions on this “Journey in Faith”.

 

Taking another step in faith to address decades of societal changes impacting attendance at weekends, Cursillo Southern Queensland is venturing into an era of change. The next weekend will take place in August, 2025 at Glendalough, near Noosa, north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast. It promises to be an exciting 2-day weekend (Friday to Sunday), with candidates already keen to attend.

Onwards and Upwards as Cursillo Southern Queensland heads into its 40th year in 2025.
