About the Assessment

Charisms, or spiritual gifts, are special abilities given to all Christians by the Holy Spirit through baptism. These gifts give us power both to represent Christ and to be a channel of God’s goodness for people. Whether extraordinary or ordinary, all charisms ought to be exercised in the service of God (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003). 

Sadly, many of us are not aware of our own gifts or abilities. These gifts are then not utilized for the Service of God, and others suffer because of it. We at Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church desire our parishioners to become the best disciples of Christ that they can be. Therefore, we are highly encouraging our parishioners to take our Spiritual Gifts Inventory and consider joining a ministry based on their spiritual gifts!

This inventory will give you an introductory evaluation of your gifts and possible ministry categories for you to share your gifts in love of God and neighbor. It can help you pinpoint the best places to begin, but discerning our charisms is a process. If after taking this inventory you would like to further discern your charisms and gifts, consider contacting our Stewardship Director to learn more about where you might be called.
