The Cursillo Movement in Switzerland

 

THE ECUMENICAL CURSILLO OF GENEVA (in English and in French)

Cursillo started in Switzerland in 1982, in English at Geneva. They were launched by U.S. cursillistas from Peoria, Illinois, USA. The first cursillo in French took place in Geneva in 1991 with the help of the English Cursillo. In the Geneva area, 90 Cursillo weekends have been offered since the first one in 1982. And there are more than 1000 christian men or women of various denominations who have made the experience of a Cursillo weekend and of its invitation to an ecumenical walk in the last 30 years.

THE CATHOLIC CURSILLO IN ZURICH (in German)

There is a Catholic Cursillo Movement in Switzerland, but in German. It began in 1994 in Einsiedeln (near Zurich), with the support of cursillistas coming from the diocese of Freiburg (Germany).
