This word is now used by the Cursillo community to signify the meeting which is held after a Cursillo experience. This meeting may be between Cursillistas from one or several commmunities.
groupe d'amis
The Ultreya gathers together groups from a particular region and provides continuity by contributing to the maintenance of the Cursillo spirit and by revealing the reality of the living Church.
In a climate of friendship, members share their life experiences based on the three tenets of Cursillo life: i.e.: Prayer, Study and Action, or based on a passage from Scripture. This sharing can be contemplative in nature or may deal with an evangelizing experience. This sharing from real-life experiences, serve as examples to all of us of the challenge which Jesus lays before His followers: "Go and do likewise."
As its name implies, the Ultreya, is a call to move forward and to keep the flame of the Cursillo burning brightly.
