All about Cursillo, and the Fredericton group that carries on in its name

For about 40 years, a group of men has been meeting in Fredericton for fellowship and study. Naturally, their members have come and gone over the years.

Some have passed on, but this group began as a result of the Cursillo movement being taken up in this diocese in the early 1980s. Stan Weaver and Reid Saunders were the original members in Fredericton.
