The Cursillo Movement in Togo

The foundation team was made up of cursillistas from Togo, from Benin et from Quebec.  A particular care was taken to ensure that good foundations were laid down concerning not only the cursillo 3-days but the precursillo et the postcursillo as well.

The year 2006 saw the foundation of the Cursillo Movement in a third diocese, the Diocese of Kpalimé, plus holding of cursillo weekends in the dioceses of Lomé et Atakpamé, et the formation of a National Secretariat. Father Germain Grenon, m.s.a., et Huguette Duclos, of the diocese of Montreal, took advantage of their stay of ten weeks from January to March 2006, to focus on training both leaders et new cursillistas. Rollists were helped with their rollos, new cursillistas were trained in Group Reunions et many leaders were taught about the "Fundamental Ideas of the Cursillo Movement".  

In 2007, a first cursillo whose team was composed entirely of Togolese cursillistas took place in Lomé in March, et in Kpalimé in April.

Since then, cursillo weekends are being given each year in the three dioceses, supporting documents were created et a remote monitoring through the Internet was set up allowing leaders of the new Togo Cursillo Movement to seek help et information from members of the CEI ("Comité d'Expansion Internationale" put forth by the Francophone Cursillo Movement of Canada).
