Description:
The Gifted and Called ministry helps parishioners discover their God-given Spiritual gifts and Charisms. In addition, this ministry assists parishioners to appreciate their gifts and the needs of the parish, and to motivate each of us to use these gifts in love and service to others.
Activities & Events:
Discovering these gifts and Charisms takes time. The process below has been used by many in their faith journey to better understand God’s unique call on their life. It requires:
- Praying for guidance
- Reflecting on God’s Call
- Identifying gifts for Ministry
- Attending a Gifted and Called session
- Educating ourselves about the need in the Church
- Going forth to Serve
Time Commitment:
A 100 question assessment is on the St. Francis of Assisi website, listed under Ministries. Scroll to the bottom and click where it says to access the Spiritual Gifts inventory. To receive the results, the facilitator of this ministry will contact you.
You will be asked to meet with the facilitator and/or attend a Gifted and Called Discernment session.
