Discover how God has gifted every person for a purpose. The Called & Gifted seminar invites you to explore the gifts God has given you and to recognize how the Holy Spirit is already at work in your life. These gifts may be expressed in our families, workplaces, at the parish, and in ministries throughout the community, whether in a visible role or behind the scenes. As St. Catherine of Siena beautifully captured the heart of this calling, “Be who you were created to be, and you will set the world on fire.” Join us in this journey of faith, purpose, and mission as we discover how each of us can share in the Church’s work in the world.
