rest stops
Along the path of discipleship, parishioners need to rest and refuel. These rest stops offer key discipleship formation opportunities that foster spiritual and intellectual maturity in the Christian life. We have discerned these rest stops for our parishioners: Keys to Prayer, Called and Gifted, Emmaus Training, Created and Redeemed, The Sacramental Life, Faith and Reason, and Inner Healing
called & gifted
discerning your charisms
The called and gifted workshop is designed to help Christians discern the presence of charisms in their lives. Charisms, or spiritual gifts, are special abilities given to all Christians by the Holy Spirit to give them power both to represent Christ and to be a channel of God's goodness for people. Whether extraordinary or ordinary, all charisms ought to be exercised in the service of God (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003). The called and gifted workshop will help you to understand and appreciate:
- The role of every Catholic and of the local parish in the mission of the Church to the world.
- The critical role of charisms in the life and service of other lay Catholics and in the life of the parish or Christian community.
- The signs and characteristics of 24 common charisms.
- How discerning and using your charisms can change your life and the life of others, your parish, and the world.
