- I want to attend a Cursillo Weekend. Who do I talk to?
Often candidates for Cursillo have already been approached by a Cursillista that is ready and willing to sponsor them. If not, your parish should have a Cursillo representative.Talk to that person about your desire to attend a weekend, and he/she will match you to a sponsor, someone who has already attended a weekend and is active in their Fourth Day. If you don't know your Cursillo representative, talk to your Rector.
You can print the application form (at the right of this page) and have it signed, then mail it in with the fee to the Registrar.

- How does the acceptance process work?
Applications are accepted on a first come, first serve basis. No more than four people from an individual parish may attend a Cursillo with one exception: If there are vacancies after the deadline, more applicants from a parish may be taken with no more than six from that parish accepted. A maximum of 42 participants may attend any one Cursillo.
Once accepted, the individual is sent a letter of acceptance with a Cursillo brochure and a map with directions to Camp Allen. The sponsor is sent a letter as well.

- What should I know as a Rector before approving a candidate?
A candidate must be at least 18 years of age and a communicant in good standing of an Episcopal congregation in the Diocese of Texas. The candidate should be spiritually/psychologically stable and not suffering from any unusually stressful situation in their lives that would disrupt the orderly functioning of the weekend.

- What are my obligations as a sponsor?
As a sponsor, you must be available to take your candidate to Camp Allen Thursday evening and pick them up on Sunday following the closing service. You also are responsible for helping your candidate find a reunion group following the weekend and attend Ultreya with them if available.
