The Called and Gifted Workshop™ is a great tool to help us discern the charisms God has given us! At a Called & Gifted™ workshop, you will 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.

Information is available on the Catherine of Siena Institute website at https://siena.org/called-gifted. For more information about the next Called and Gifted Workshop at St. Peter Church, please contact Christina Klyce at [email protected] or 901-527-8282.
