Palanca request to support the first English Cursillos in the Tucson area in seven years! Please do palanca for the Men’s Cursillo (25 – 28 April) and the Women’s Cursillo (2 – 5 May). What is palanca? Palanca is the action - intercessory prayer, sacrifice, mass intentions, rosaries, or works of mercy, etc. done to support the team and the people living their Cursillo. Sierra Vista School of Leaders will send a letter to the 3-Day Chair of the Cursillo Movement of the Diocese of Tucson saying that different types of palanca are being done for these two Cursillo weekends. No letters or cards are needed, but the Cursillo needs your spiritual support.

The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.

The Legion of Mary is a lay apostolic association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of All Graces, serve the Church and their neighbor on a voluntary basis in about 170 countries. The Legion of Mary at St. Andrew’s currently has a praesidium that holds its meetings in Spanish and a praesidium that holds its meetings in English. The English is (Queen of Peace Praesidium) and the Spanish is (Our Lady of Guadalupe/Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Praesidium). There are active members of the Legion of Mary who meet weekly for about an hour and a half, and auxiliary members who dedicate time and prayers to support the Legion of Mary’s efforts in the local praesidium and the world. Active members meet for approximately an hour and a half each week, pray together and on their own, and use the meeting to schedule works of charity as part of Mary’s efforts to redeem the world and provide feedback to their respective praesidium each week.
The following link will explain the meetings and expectations in more detail: Legion of Mary Formation
