A Calgary Anglican Cursillo Fund-raiser

 



The Calgary Cursillo community is having an online auction fund-raiser, running May 25 through June 25. Parishioner Margaret Blank has donated a textile art piece to this fundraiser. She says, "My experience at Cursillo is hard to articulate: moving, profound, joyful, challenging -- just a few of the words I could use. I am thankful to Rev. Lee and Rev. Gary Sinclair for supporting Cursillo during Lee's time with us, and to Coleen Woods who was, as I recall, my sponsor that weekend."

COVID-19 has resulted in cancellations of Cursillo Weekends for two years now (they occur twice a year -- in spring and in fall) and changed the way the community meets for prayer and fellowship. This fund-raiser will help to keep the community functioning until it can resume its in-person activities onces more.
