The Cursillo has received the blessings of the Popes, including Pope Paul VI who gave us St. Paul as our Patron Saint. In May 2002, our Holy Father Pope John Paul II honored the movement by acknowledging its presence in 60 countries, 800 dioceses, and being lived by over 8 million souls. The Cursillo Movement is also endorsed and encouraged by the American bishops.
