7-02: Helping Young People Discover their Gifts and Charisms

Sunday, February 26 | Period 7 | 10:00am - 11:15am 

When we confront challenging times in our world, our hope can disappear from our hearts. However, if we look at the history of our faith, it is precisely during these difficult times that grace comes alive in the gifts of our young people. Pope Francis says: "Dear young people, do not bury your talents, the gifts that God has given you! Do not be afraid to dream of great things!" Our call as parents, catechists, teachers and youth ministers is to help our young people to become more aware of their unique gifts and that by doing so, God will abundantly pour grace into our families and faith communities. During this session, we will learn different exercises to help guide our young people to discover their gifts and charisms and to put them in service to the Church and the world.
