Seven years ago, on October 6, 2018, on the Vigil of Our Lady of the Rosary, our brand-new parish (formed by the merger of Saint Nicholas and Saint William parishes in Los Altos) began its new life by being consecrated "To Jesus through Mary." In preparation for the event, we offered our popular 33-day personal consecration program to all our parishioners. This year, we are again offering that program and will renew our Parish Consecration at Mass at Saint Nicholas and Saint William on October 5, 2025.
The Diocese of San Jose has two upcoming Cursillo retreats that will be held at St. Clare’s Retreat Center in Soquel, CA. Cursillo is a Catholic-based short course in Christianity. The Women’s weekend is March 20-23, and the Men’s weekend is April 3-6, 2025.
Cursillo is a lay movement within the Catholic Church to make the Christian Community possible in neighborhoods, parishes, work environments, and all the other places where people live the greater part of their lives. Cursillo is an abbreviation of the full title: CURSILLO DE CRISTIANDAD, which means “A
Short Course in Christian Community Living.”
