The Holy Spirit has gifted each of us with charisms — spiritual gifts given for the service of others and the mission of the Church.
Called and Gifted is a prayerful and practical process that helps participants discern how God is inviting them to serve through the unique gifts He has given them. Rooted in Scripture and the Church’s tradition of discernment, this workshop offers time for prayer, teaching, reflection and discussion.
We are excited to gather at St Mary Immaculate Church, Tauranga for the first of several Called and Gifted Workshops planned for the Diocese of Hamilton.
Since 1993, over 200,000 laypeople, clergy, and religious across the globe have embarked on the Called & Gifted™ Discernment Process developed by the Catherine of Sienna Institute to uncover how the Holy Spirit is uniquely at work in their lives. This powerful discernment process helps Christians recognise the charisms—spiritual gifts—they’ve been given not just for their own sake, but to represent Christ and be channels of God's goodness for others. Charisms are not reserved for a few; they are for every baptised Christian. As the Catechism reminds us, “All charisms ought to be exercised in the service of God”
(CCC 2003).
