Sister Theresina

So I dropped off my Tres Dias candidate for the weekend at Our Lady of Calvary retreat center. Tres Dias is an ecumenical movement that came from the Roman Catholic Cursillo weekends, and as such, Tres Dias is mostly Protestant (since Roman Catholics tend to go to Cursillo). There are still some Roman Catholics in Tres Dias, but certainly not as many as Protestants.

Wrote a little php program last year to scrape and parse a couple of pages in another site…

I’ve been involved in Tres Dias since 1989 here in Connecticut (CCTD #17, to be exact). Tres Dias is a type of community built around what is commonly called a “3-day weekend”. It started with a Catholic Cursillo in Spain in the mid 1940′s and has been growing and branching ever since. In 1981 my local Tres Dias started a teen group called Aventura. I was asked to be the music director for #8, and I’ve been involved with the teens ever since (we’re on weekend #26 now, holding one weekend a year). I wear several hats; one of them is that I write the newsletter for the group.
