Called and Gifted is a process that helps you understand your own unique calling and identifies charisms that the Lord has given you to share with others e.g. teaching, music, leadership, prophecy, encouragement, wisdom…. “A charism is more than a talent or personal quality. It is a grace, a gift that God gives through the Holy Spirit, not because someone is better than others but rather so that he/she puts it at the service of others with the same gratitude and love with which he/she has received it.‘” Pope Francis.
This conference is ideal for all employees and volunteers in a parish community: Parish Pastoral Council Members, Finance Committee, Baptism Team… all ministries and prayer group members will benefit but anyone can attend the programme.
