St. Vincent de Paul Parish is a “Called and Gifted” parish! This workshop is offered twice/year, in the Fall and Spring. The Called and Gifted Workshop is an opportunity for each of us to deepen our relationship with Jesus and to discover God’s plan for our lives. In the Called and Gifted discernment process, you will learn that every lay Christian has been given a unique and deeply personal call to work with the Lord and that you have been given gifts (charisms) accordingly. Discerning your charism(s) will give you a new perspective on your life and will help you to be more fulfilled in your work, your volunteer activities at St. Vincent’s, and your own personal relationships. After the initial workshop, there will be further discernment and development with others.
