DIOCESAN COORDINATOR MESSAGE
Welcome to the website for the Metuchen Cursillo Movement. The Cursillo experience is one that will enhance your spiritual life and growth for a lifetime. This website will answer some of your questions about how the Cursillo method works, however it is best to talk with a person who has attended a Cursillo weekend and has personal experiences to share.
Many Catholics have lived and grown through the Cursillo Weekend and have experienced a progressive transformation in their spiritual life. I invite you to explore the possibilities for yourself and if interested, please email us for further information.
We who have made the Cursillo are praying for you that Our Lord opens new doors of growth and most importantly Joy in His Glory!
God Love You,
Bill Grippo
Diocesan Coordinator / Metuchen Cursillo Movement
MESSAGE FROM REV. JOHN PRIMICH, MCM SPIRITUAL ADVISOR
Cursillo is at the tip of the spear for the New Evangelization.
Christ is calling you to experience the Good News and become His
living witnesses in the world!

Spiritual Advisor

MOST REV. JAMES F. CHECCHIO Bishop Diocese of Metuchen
The Most Reverend James F. Checchio was ordained and installed as the fifth bishop of the Diocese of Metuchen in 2016. In December, 2018, Bishop Checchio launched a Year of Awakening in the Diocese of Metuchen, NJ, which launched a year-long preparation for Consecration to Jesus through Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Highlights of the year include a 9 mile walking pilgrimage in honor of St. Juan Diego, who walked 9 miles regularly to learn the Catholic faith. Several Cursillistas journeyed with over 700 pilgrims through the streets and roads in Hunterdon County.
In October 2019, 78 pilgrims from the diocese joined Bishop Checchio on a fabulous 3 day trip to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Of the 78, 10 were Cursillistas, including 3 priests and 1 deacon.

We are honored to share part of our journey with the Shepherd of our Diocese and we are grateful for Bishop Checchio’s ongoing support of the Cursillo Movement!
Witness Talk
Good morning brothers and sisters.
My name is Don Tibay. Gondee is my roommate and
ex-girlfriend. Andrew is God’s child entrusted to us for
upbringing and guidance. Our family has been so
blessed to be called to live the Cursillo weekend.
My fourth day is still work in progress. (WORK IN
PROGRESS in blinking light). I could humbly share
that the weekend has jump started my faith. The
teachings of the weekend has helped me to ponder
more instead of reacting quickly. It has increase my
sensitivity to His words as my guide when I think,
speak, and act. I find myself using those magic words
more often… like “I’m sorry” “thank you” you’re right”
or “ I don’t mean to judge”, “ that’s a different way of
looking at it” “ zero expectation here”, etc! I find
myself more focused on the my relationship with
Jesus.
Humbly, I must admit that my PSA (has nothing to do
with men’s issue) is flactuating because I struggle
with my oldself relentlessly every moment of
everyday.
This LENTEN season, I have been inspired to join the “ OLD SELF ANONYMOUS.” This is a movement to help me travel from my head to my heart. In case you haven’t heard, these areas are located in a place near you. These areas comes in many different names. I searched really hard, and it easy to find with the grace of God. Here are a few areas where I find great comfort, these places are;
GRATITUDE Garden
HUMILITY Hill
BLESSING Blvd
LOVE Lane
VICTORY Valley
MERCY Market
COMPASSION Corner
PEACE Park
SERENITY Street
POSITIVE Place
AMAZING Ave… and so on…
I don’t know about you but I have a feeling that you’ve heard of these areas before…. and perhaps many of you have been to these a couple of these areas. I observe that my wife goes to GRATITUDE Garden a lot… and Andrew goes to CALM City a lot!
I believe that many of these are the favorite areas of holy men and women.
Well, I am becoming more familiar with these areas but I get lost a lot along the way.
However, I have discovered a great navigation system that CAN withstand difficult terrain, adverse
weather..,,and especially major “road blocks” of despair, complacency, disobedience, pride, selfishness, laziness, arrogance, impatience, resentment, etc.
Perhaps, you are familiar with these “road blocks”, too!
Well, this relaible navigation system is FREE!
It is easy to download! The app is called GPS… Global Positioning System wisely labeled as GOD’s POWER and STRENGTH…. this is one of a kind GPS is available at all time, supply is unlimited.
The maximum functionality of this system is through regular SMALL GROUP meetings and monthly maintenance called ULTREYA!
Above all, I praise God for having you my brothers and sisters in Christ… my companions in journey on the HIGHWAY to HEAVEN!
I would like to close with this qoute of Joan of Arc as she was confronted and ask, “ are you save by faith alone?”…. and she said, “if I am not, may God put me there; and if I am may God so keep me.”
To God be the glory!
