Called & Gifted Tuesday Mornings

The Called & Gifted Discernment Process has been used since 1993 by over 200,000 lay, ordained, and religious Catholics and other Christians around the world. After the 8 week experience, participants are able to discern and name the presence of charisms in their lives - to understand their calling as members of the Body of Christ.

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).  All three parts of the process assist in discovering where you are gifted:

• Part 1: is the Called and Gifted workshop, which lays the foundation for the beginning of discernment. During the initial Called & Gifted workshop series the participants will take the Catholic Spiritual Gifts Inventory.
• Part 2: is a conversation with a trained host, who has previously experienced Called & Gifted, who provides suggestions on how you can navigate discerning your gifts, to help you move forward
• Part 3: helps you begin discernment in the real world. It will teach you how to:
  • develop charism experiments
  • evaluate your results
  • identify ways you can be empowered to use your charisms

We are offering this course at St. Peter Chanel as a way to assist God's people to fully live out their call of Discipleship. Participation in the experience will greatly help us imagine the possibilities for the greater parish community.
