Eastertide Lectionary Readings
Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Cursillo #146 will take place at the Solomon Center on June 6-9.  I want to encourage you if you have not made a Cursillo to prayerfully consider making this one.  I made my first Cursillo while in the Diocese of MS and it was and continues to be one of the most important experiences in my ministry.

Cursillo has played an important role in forming the lives of many people.  This is a good time to re-energize! 

Blessings this Eastertide.
