Region XI Grand Ultreya
(August 30, 2014 in San
Bernardino) – This event is in
conflict with our WC #89
weekend. I informed all Region
XI Lay Directors and the San
Bernardino FCC that FCC
Oakland cannot attend the event
because of our conflict. I
informed them as soon as I
received the email notice and
according to the hosts, they
cannot move it because of venue
restriction. This does not stop
anybody from attending if you
are available especially if you are
planning to be in the area visiting
friends and relatives.

AN ENCOUNTER WITH CHRIST
As shared by Sis. Cora Pediglorio
An encounter with Christ that
happened to the lives of our Cursillista
brothers and sisters, which might have
taken place recently or years ago. It is
sharing of our own faith and touching
with our own Cursillo way, an encounter
with ourselves with Christ and with
others, our own PSA.
The Holy Spirit is alive and well
and when we are open and receptive to
Him, you know that He will always be
with you, making his presence known in
small or big ways.
Encountering Christ in our
everyday life is truly a gift to relish and
to share with others...
I have been blessed to be a part
time caregiver for over three years.
Providing care to Jackie gives me
joy and compassion for her; and despite
her difficulty in speaking because of her
Parkinson’s disease, I still managed to
understand her through lip reading.
Providing care to my client
entails giving her morning snack,
washing her clothes, folding and putting
them away, bathing her, fixing her hair,
dressing her up and other small chores
that she asks me to do. Over time, my
exposure to the use of water in bathing
her has taken a toll on my hands.
I was hesitating, but I had to tell Jackie
that I need to start wearing gloves when
I bathe her, because my hands have been
looking very dry, scaly and scratchy!
And of course, she does not mind at all.
One day, while I was doing her
hair, I saw her took the Aveeno lotion
that was sitting atop the vanity table. I
thought she was going to use it on her
hands.
However, I was taken aback
when, without saying anything to me,
she took my hands, and with gentleness,
applied the lotion lovingly onto my
hands. I was very touched by her
gesture.
At that moment, I felt God's
presence through Jackie. The Holy
Spirit is indeed alive and well. I felt so
much joy and love in my heart after that
encounter. Thank you Jesus for loving
me!

Our medium of communication at the
beginning of our Filipino Cursillo
Movement was the FILIPINO
CURSILLO NEWSLETTER. Later on
the name was changed to MARIPOSA
NEWSLETTER.
It is but proper to recognize past editors
who worked hard to deliver news and
activities of the Cursillo community.
We thank them for their noteworthy
services. We hope they come back and
help again!
