5. Called and Gifted Workshop Every baptized Christian is given gifts of charisms at their baptism, gifts from God that one prominent author (Dr. Mary Healy) describes as “gifts of the Holy Spirit given in different measures to different people. They are not primarily for personal sanctification but for building up the body of Christ. They are by definition gifts to be given away, gifts to be used for others.”
The Catherine of Sienna Institute is dedicated to helping people discover what their God-given charism are and how to use them. A stable of their ministry is their Called and Gifted Workshop. It is a 10-week course that meets 2 hours every week and is both a study of the charisms and discovery one’s own charisms and how to use them. Mary Martin of the Archdiocese of Detroit will be leading a Called and Gifted Workshop on Saturday mornings beginning October 24th from 10:00am to 12:00pm on zoom.
For those who would miss the October 24th session to attend the parish day of evangelization, she will be hosting a make-up session on Thursday, October 29th at 7pm on zoom. There is a $40 cost for the course that covers materials Please visit this link to sign-up: https://scholastica.church/called-gifted-workshop Marilyn Webb (our youth minister) is also a trained Called and Gifted facilitator and would be good to talk with if you have questions.

If you have not registered (by noon on Saturday) to attend Mass in person and you still wish to attend a Mass at church this weekend please: - park in the parking lot a little ahead of Mass time, - go to the parking lot side entrance, - and ask the staff at that doorway if there is still available room. If there is room in church they will do a check-in process for you. Based on the slightly relaxed directions from AOD there is now more space available in the church to attend Mass in person.
