What gifts has God given you? How can you use those gifts to glorify Him and help others?

Offered by the Catherine of Siena Institute, the Called and Gifted Workshop is a charism discernment program that allows St. John's parishioners to learn how God has gifted them and how these gifts can be used in ministry, service, and everyday life. 

The Called and Gifted Workshop begins with learning about what the different charisms are and then guided discernment to figure out which charism(s) you are gifted with through 2-3 sessions. After completing your charism inventory, you will meet with one of our Called and Gifted interviewers to begin the discernment process, followed by discernment and conversation in small groups.

Through Called and Gifted, you learn:

• 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.

• Our purpose for running this workshop is helping our parishioners learn how God has gifted them and how to minister/serve/live out of those gifts.
