Introduction
† We have laboriously reviewed the content of each of the Rollos over the last 3 months
† We have collected comments for the Rollo outlines that will be added before the commencement of the next weekend
† Today, the intent is to review the BIG ideas, the themes, the one liners, the takeaways from each of the lay rollos given on a weekend
† Themes were developed based on our discussions of the last 4 months; but our goal today is to approve/modify the themes

Summary
† Rollo themes (as amended) will be provided through Cursillo chair to next team as part of their packet
† Believe that we should make it a requirement for the SoL to brief all the rollistas on the Rollo themes on a recurring basis in the future.– Probably during the first team meeting– Thoughts??

Closing Prayer
† Dear Lord, we must have fraternal charity, or we can accomplish
nothing for you.
† In loving you, help us to have a genuine concern for one another, a
generosity in sharing one another’s burdens, a gallantry in
defending the reputation of our group, a sincere sympathy in
sharing one another’s suffering and sorrows, and a joy in sharing
their spiritual growth.
† By this shall all men know that we are your Apostles. Amen.
