This workshop is designed to support you in discerning and developing your particular call to lead within your family, neighborhood, workplace, and parish life. This workshop is free to attend if you are a member of the Archdiocese of Boston. If you are outside the Archdiocese, the cost is $25. Lunch included.
One way the Holy Spirit builds up the Body of Christ is through charisms, or special graces, that equip us to live out our discipleship and mission. What a gift! Join us for a prayerful workshop during which we’ll learn more about individual charisms and the importance of discerning and exercising our charisms.
Please plan on joining us for a virtual lesson swap! Like a cookie swap, you can bring your favorite lesson plan and come away with lessons from other faith formation leaders.
We invite all new (to the Archdiocese of Boston in the last 1-2 years) parish catechetical leaders (including but not limited to children's faith formation, youth ministry, and adult faith formation) to spend a day in conversation with our team.
