Cursillos of Christianity or Cursillos de Cristiandad movement was started by Mgr. Juan Hervas in 1948 a Mallorca, Spain. It spread around the world to become a universal Church movement. On 29 July 2000 Pope John Paul II received members of the movement which was later officially recognised by the Pontifical Council for the Family on 21 June 2004. Cursillos of Christianity arrived in Taiwan in 1968 and was a great success among the laity, young people in particular.
