God has entrusted you with a beautiful role—sponsoring a candidate for the upcoming Cursillo Weekend. Sponsorship is a meaningful commitment, and your support is essential to your candidate’s experience and growth. Below is a simple guide to help you fulfill your role with confidence and care.
Please arrange transportation to and from the weekend location.
We kindly ask that candidates not drive themselves. Drop-off is Thursday between 6:30–7:00 PM. After arrival, allow the team to greet and welcome your candidate—this time helps them settle in.
Palanca is a heartfelt offering of prayer and self-giving, not a gift or letter.
Bring your personal palanca for your candidate at drop-off; the team will collect it.
You may also send palanca to:
📬 Julie Walsh
220 Pittston Ave
Scranton, PA 18505
📧 Or email: radally54@gmail.com
Plan to attend the Closing Service on Sunday at approximately 4:45 PM.
This is a special moment when our Cursillo community welcomes the new Cursillistas and hears their reflections on the weekend.
Please note: The final Mass is reserved for candidates and the team only.
Even though they’ll receive a packing list, a friendly reminder call goes a long way. Make sure they bring:
🛏️ Food, bedding, and blankets are all provided.
The suggested donation is $290, but remind your candidate that cost should never be a barrier.
Contributions are private and based on what is affordable.
Your role doesn’t end on Sunday. You are key to helping your candidate live out their faith in everyday life.
