What is Paseo?
What is Paseo? Paseo is a Lay ministry movement within the Anglican community. It is one of several “Fourth Day” movements patterned after Cursillo, founded by the Spanish Catholic Church in the 1940s.
“Paseo” is Spanish for “stroll” or “walk.” The weekend is a journey with Jesus where the Holy Spirit reveals the power and the love of God in new ways to us, and helps us to live as Christians spreading His Gospel. Paseo is a powerful instrument for renewal as well as Christian leadership development and encouragement in the Church.
Paseo begins on a Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday. During those three days the participants (Pilgrims) listen to talks given by priests and lay people, participate in small table discussions, and pray and worship together.

The staff of the Paseo is composed of Priests and lay people who spend weeks working and praying together in preparation for the event. You’ll hear talks about Grace, Laity in the Church, Piety, Study, Sacraments, Leaders, and Christian Community. These talks and the associated activities are linked and build on one another step by step.
During the weekend you are on God’s time, and so we’ll ask you to surrender your watches and alarm clocks, your cell phones and other devices. If you have a medication schedule we’ll make sure it’s on time. If any events occur that you need to know about we’ll tell you. We will have an emergency contact point for folks back home, but your sponsor and the Paseo community will do all in its power to ensure all is well during your absence.

What else?
It begins with the weekend…
The three day weekend helps you experience your faith more fully. You are motivated to engage in a spiritual life filled with joy, laughter, and enthusiasm. You’ll develop new relationships and deepen old friendships. Most importantly you’ll deepen your relationship with God.
It continues with sharing…
We don’t send you out into the world to go it alone!
Reunion Groups are informal gatherings of 3-5 people who meet to share their faith and support each other in their spiritual life. These are the heart of the Paseo movement.
Ultreyas are broader gatherings of the larger Paseo community, meant for a time of prayer, praise, joy, and fellowship. Paseistas share and gain insight that can enhance their spiritual lives.
