Gifts Discernment

Gifts Discernment

WHAT ARE YOUR GIFTS AND TALENTS?

Being a disciple of Jesus calls us to be a good steward of the gifts God has given us, especially our time and talent. To do this we must first recognize our gifts/talents and give thanks to God for them. The following assessment helps us recognize our gifts in several areas. Once we recognize our gifts/talents, it is important that we follow Jesus calling to us to use our gifts in building God's Kingdom - a Kingdom of Justice, Compassion and Peace.

HOW TO USE THE ONLINE ASSESSMENT:

  • Answer each of the questions.
  • Review your scores.
  • Identify those gifts with the highest scores.
  • Review the Gifts Discernment Summary for a definition of the gifts and suggested ministries that can best use your gifts.
  • Review the ministries of the parish to identify which ministries you think can best use your gifts. You can use the stewardship guide or the parish web site to review the ministries.
  • Contact the ministry for further information to further assess whether your gifts fit with the ministry or to join the ministry.
