Definition for Decuria

In a retreat weekend I serve on, we call the time spent summarizing or sharing about talks we have heard, a Decuria. None of the translators or dictionaries I've found support this definition though. What's up?

A decuria is from Latin. It means a company of ten men

In Spanish it can have the following meaning (From the RAE online):

En los estudios de gramática, grupo de diez estudiantes, y a veces menos, que estaba señalado para dar sus lecciones al decurión.
