Secretariat - Birmingham Cursillo

Members of the Secretariat come from the School of Leaders, and should always see itself as being of service to the whole Movement. Being a member of the Secretariat does not remove one from being part of the School, rather their selection places them in a position to be of even greater service to the Movement.

The Secretariat accelerates the total work of the Movement in its three phases (Precursillo, Cursillo and Postcursillo). Authority to do so comes from the local bishop who charges the Secretariat to implement the Movement according to the norms and guidelines established by the National Secretariat.
