Everyone is looking for fulfillment and happiness. Finding and cultivating your God-given gifts can help you discern the life God is calling you to live; following your charisms can build your faith, family and parish life.
In the Gospel, Christ sends his disciples into the community to serve and preach. You play an essential role in evangelization. Answer the call of Christ to go and preach the Gospel to all nations. Using your gifts will empower you to serve and witness.
Interested in learning more about your gifts and charisms? Join the diocesan Office of Faith Formation for a Called and Gifted workshop to take inventory of your spiritual gifts. 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; and how discerning and using your charisms can change your life and the life of others, your parish and the world.
Piñon is the director of faith formation and evangelization programs for diocesan Office of Faith Formation.
