Developed by the Catherine of Siena Institute in the USA, 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. It is designed to help Christians discern the presence of charisms in their lives.
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).
The Called & Gifted Workshop is the first of 3 steps in the process for discovering where you are gifted. It lays the foundation for the beginning of discernment where you will take the Catholic Spiritual Gifts inventory.
At the workshop you will learn:
- The relationship between discipleship and charisms, and 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 Catholics and in the life of the parish or Christian community
- The signs and characteristics of 23 common charisms
- How discerning and using your charisms can change your life and the life of others, your parish, and the world
A further discernment process is available upon completion of the workshop. If you so wish, you may arrange a 1-to-1 Gifts Interview (step 2) to discuss and clarify what has surfaced from your Gifts Inventory. After the interview, discernment-in-depth in small groups (step 3) is available, if you so wish.
