St. Francis Xavier is the designated parish in the Joliet area for Cursillo Ultreya.  We typically meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month following the 6:30pm Mass.

Ultreya is a Spanish word that means “onward” and is used in the Cursillo community to describe a gathering of Cursillistas after a Cursillo weekend.

Ultreyas are a chance for Cursillistas to come together and:

• Support and encourage each other
• Grow in the Apostolic community
• Share their struggles and triumphs
• Reflect on the Life in Grace
• Discuss the three elements of Piety, Study, and Action
• Hold each other accountable to God and to each other
• Rejuvenate existing small groups
• Help new people join an existing friendship group
