PALANCA DOES NOT END AFTER A THREE DAY WEEKEND

The Cursillo Weekend is only the beginning of your Fourth Day and many people over the years have contributed in various ways to our movement by participating in Ultreyas, joining a group reunion, sponsoring candidates on weekends, serving on teams as well as on Secretariat.

In order to keep weekends affordable for all, the Ottawa Cursillo Movement has currently subsidized over 40% of the actual costs of the weekend for new Cursillistas. This has been made possible due to the generosity of Cursillistas who believe in the movement and who have contributed to this effort to pay it forward and allow more people to share the wonderful experience you had on your weekend.

A few years ago, we instituted the Cursillo Ambassador Program which has been renamed Palanca In Kind. These contributors have agreed to donate just $10 per month (the cost of a specialty coffee) on a convenient, pre-authorised deduction through CanadaHelps.org. Some have opted for a larger one time donation which can be done on the same site.

Please consider participating in this program that allows you to pay it forward to future Cursillistas by simply selecting the Donate button, below. This will link you directly to the CanadaHelps.org page where you can set up the direct deposits. If you wish to participate monthly, make sure you activate the monthly button and follow the instructions. Tax receipts will be issued automatically in February. How easy is that? We sincerely thank you for your contribution to future weekends.
