A Many Parts presenter comes to your parish and leads a half-day or full-day charism workshop, where your parishioners discover the spiritual gifts God has given them and where the Holy Spirit is calling them to serve.
Every baptized person has been given charisms, gifts of the Holy Spirit meant for building up the Church (CCC 799–801). A spiritual gifts retreat gives your parishioners the chance to find out what theirs might be, together, in their own parish.
You can call it a retreat, a workshop, or a day of reflection on spiritual gifts. We call it the Parish Charism Workshop, and it comes in two sizes.
Open it to anyone in the parish who wants to come, with a room of 30 or 300+. Teenagers sit next to grandparents, and people who have led ministries for decades sit next to people still wondering whether the parish has a place for them.
See the full agenda, pricing, and booking details on the Parish Charism Workshop page.
A trained Many Parts presenter leads your parish's retreat day, teaching from the Church's own understanding of charisms and walking your parishioners through the charism assessment and what comes after it. You bring the people and the space. We bring the teaching, the charism assessment, and the next steps.
One of our favorite ways to use this day is as a kickoff: for a stewardship renewal, a ministry fair, or a season of parish-wide charism discernment. People make better decisions about where to give their time once they know what God has given them to give. Tell us what you're hoping this day starts in your parish, and we'll help you plan for it.
Your parishioners have been given gifts for building up the Church. Let's help them find out what they are.
Yes. Everything we teach comes from the Catholic Church's understanding of charisms, the gifts the Holy Spirit gives each baptized person for serving others and building up the Church (CCC 799–801). The charism assessment looks at 24 charisms recognized in Scripture and in the Church's life.
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit (wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord) are given to every Christian for growing in holiness. Charisms are different from person to person, and they're given for the good of others. A parish spiritual gifts retreat focuses on charisms, because that's where each parishioner finds the particular way God has equipped them to serve.
The day works for a room of 30 or 300+. It's open to the whole parish, including teenagers.

Yes. If you're also considering a parish program, look at the Parish Transformation Program before you book, because it includes a half-day kickoff workshop. You can compare all the parish programs too.
Looking for a multi-day parish mission instead of a single day? We also offer a two-day Parish Mission on Charisms.
