Serving The Risen Son

In today’s world, can Christianitypenetrate

the many areas of secular life?

Can it transform your world in a way

that ismore fruitful than in the past

and in keepingwith the times?

The TRES DIAS Weekend experience shows that it can. It proposes no new type of spirituality. It is simply a method through which one’s spirituality may be developed, lived and shared in any area of human endeavor where there are Christians willing to dedicate their lives to God in an ongoing manner.

TRES DIAS is an ecumenical version of the Cursillo movement that was founded by a group of priests and laymen in Spain in 1949. They formulated the method for experiencing a powerful, personal renewal and a living understanding of God’s basic Christian truths.

The TRES DIAS Weekend begins on a Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday evening. It requires your attendance for the entire three days. TRES DIAS Weekends are structured around talks, discussions, singing, laughter, joy, food, surprises, close fellowship, love, and discovery. The weekend is organized and run by teams of laypersons and two or three clergy who have previously experienced a TRES DIAS Weekend themselves.

After the TRES DIAS Weekend, members of the community are joined in a way that helps them support one another in their spiritual lives. We are better able to grow when we have fellowship, than we are ABLE to grow alone. The goal is to develop a lively Christian community within established churches. It requires nothing of you but an openness to God’s Word and the love of fellow Christians.

TRES DIAS is an encounter with Christ. That sounds simple, but it’s not. Think about it …

...... a real meeting with Christ!
