What Are My Spiritual Gifts?

“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” – St. Catherine of Siena

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS SESSION.

We receive many gifts of the Holy Spirit through our Baptism and Confirmation. We are taught about the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit which are sanctifying gifts given to help us grow in our faith. We also receive charisms which are gifts that we use for the good of others. The Holy Spirit works through us in our charisms to bring God’s love, mercy and healing to our family, friends, fellow parishioners and to members of the community.
Since charisms are the Holy Spirit working through us, we see results above and beyond our natural abilities. When we use our charisms, we feel energized, a joyful satisfaction, and that we have found our place. Using your charisms is a great remedy for burn out that many of us experience in our lives.

The charisms program involves a personal inventory quiz to help identify potential charisms, videos, a “gifts” interview to begin your discernment, tools to help with discernment and small groups to share your experiences together.

All charisms are evangelizing in their own way and are given to the baptized for the sake of Christ’s mission. Discerning your charisms will help you and our family of parishes as we unite to spread the news of Jesus’ love and mercy to everyone we encounter.

Discover how God has uniquely gifted you and how you can use those gifts to serve His purpose for your life.

Schedule: 
Part 1 - Introduction Workshop: 5 weeks 
Part II – Individual Gifts Interviews: 1 week 
Part III – Discernment in Depth: 4 weeks
