How Does Individual Discernment of Charisms Affect the Parish?
Offered by the Ministry Commission of Vicariate V, presentation given by Kathy McNicholas, a pastoral associate at Incarnation Parish.
Discerning charisms communally enables a parish to thrive on the gifts of its people. Far from being “just another program”, this is a whole new way to look at our parish. Because we seldom look first at the gifts and call of individuals, our communities too often contain generous and energetic people who have been burned-out or even traumatized trying to fill “vacuums” for which they were ill-equipped. But if we look first at our gifts, our communities will come to be shaped by our loves, because God calls each of us to (and gifts us for) the work that we most love. Come and experience a Spiritual Gifts’ Inventory process and see how to renew the parish!
