Subscribe to the Rooster (free)
We want to send the Rooster to every cursillista in the diocese who wants to receive it, but our mailing list has some gaps.
To fix that, we’re asking you:
1. Please forward a copy of this issue to each cursillista that you know in the Los Angeles diocese whose email address you have.
2. If you received this email from a friend but not directly from Cursillo AND if you want to continue to receive it, please forward it one more time — to our mailing list manager (Dan Cash at dan.r.c@sbcglobal.net). Simply put “Cursillo” in the subject line and add at the top, “Please add me to the mailing list.”
Thanks.
