Called & Gifted: discerning your gifts!

The Called & Gifted™ Discernment Process from the Catherine of Siena Institute is offered in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon.

An Introductory Workshop is the first of three steps in the process. All lay parishioners, priests and religious are invited to begin the journey of discerning the charisms/gifts God has given uniquely to each of us. God has distributed His gifts in accordance with the purpose and plan He has for each one of us to share in the building up of God’s Kingdom and His people. Whether in our homes, parishes or workplaces, these gifts are indispensable to our accomplishing God’s purposes.

For more information, contact Adult Faith Coordinator Astrid Alas at amalas@rcdos.ca or 306-659-5858.

The Called and Gifted process and other Adult Faith programs in the diocese are supported by gifts to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal (LINK).

Hosting Called & Gifted™ at Your Parish

All three parts of the process are necessary for discovering where you are gifted:

  • STEP 1 – The CALLED & GIFTED™ INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP lays the foundation for the beginning of discernment. During the initial Called & Gifted™ workshop, participants will take the Catholic Spiritual Gifts Inventory.
  • STEP 2 – The ONE HOUR GIFTS INTERVIEW with a trained interviewer is available in-person or virtually through the Called & Gifted Diocesan team or through the Catherine of Siena Institute.
  • STEP 3 – DISCERNMENT IN DEPTH is a guided experience of intentional discernment in a small group setting. In four sessions over a period of six to eight weeks, you will develop charism experiments, evaluate your results, and put into practice what you learned about discernment.
