Ultreya is the Spanish word for "onward," or "keep on going." It symbolizes the encouragement and support we give each other. Within the Cursillo movement, Ultreya is also the name of an event where we expand our reunion to a wider circle of Christians from our church, parish, and beyond.

We often invite newcomers to attend Ultreya to learn more about Cursillo and the benefits we receive from practicing our Rule of Life. Ultreya is a joyful "Reunion of Reunions," where friends enjoy fellowship, music, Lay Witness Talks, and special programs that nourish our union in Christ.

  • Floating Reunion—A core feature of Ultreya that lets us "group" with others outside of our regular Reunion Groups. The Floating Reunion gives us new perspectives and reminds us that we are all one body in Christ.
  • Lay Witness Talk—A highlight of many Ultreyas, when one person spends 10 minutes sharing how they are living with Christ, and are trying to bring others to Him.
