Pillar of Cursillo Movement passes away
The Cursillo Movement is saddened by the passing of Sister Lucinda Roberto Sablan on Jan. 9, 2015.
Before the establishment of the Cursillo in the CNMI, a group of three to four men and women had to go to Guam Cursillo for a three-day weekend. Finally, in early 1993 the Guam Cursillo Movement, with the acknowledgment of Bishop Tomas A. Camacho, began planning for the first Women’s Weekend, which took place on July 3-5, 1993. Sablan was one of the 25 women cursillistas that went through the first cursillo weekend.
Lucinda took her 1st Weekend devotedly that she became known as Lucinda the First of everything the Cursillo needed. She not only shared her materials and religious statues but she turned their Koblerville residence into a Cursillo House for the 2nd Women’s Weekend. She was instrumental in the success of the first Men’s Weekend in 1994 where she sponsored her husband, and subsequently weekends later, her son, daughter, two brothers and a sister and brother-in-law. Lucinda never failed to provide the weekend warriors with inspirational direction and laughter and, most of all, the local delicacies that she shared with all of us. There will be only one sister Lucinda in this lifetime.
Our prayers and heartfelt condolences to her husband, brother Cris; their son, brother Christopher; daughter Crystal and their families, her two brothers and brother-in-law, Dave, Joseph and Vicente. De colores yan adios, Sister Lucinda.
The CNMI Cursillos in Christianity are respectfully invited to join in prayers with the family of our beloved sister on Friday, Jan. 16, 2015, 7pm at Mt. Carmel Church. Please bring a small candle. For more information, contact Pai Camacho at 287 1870. (PR)
