 CALLED & GIFTED RETREAT
As young adults we're often looking for our path in life and
are at a critical moment of vocational discernment. Called & Gifted
“is a three part discernment process intended to help ordinary lay
Catholics discern their charisms. The Called & Gifted process
presumes no knowledge of the gifts or background in discernment.” We
feel this discernment opportunity will help to develop you as part of a
future generation of leaders in the Church by engaging you and
challenging you top see yourself as a disciple of Christ equipped for a
mission.
The retreat will be held March 12 – 14, 2010 at Bayside Baptist Camp
in Sambro Head, Nova Scotia. The cost is $75 and includes
accomodations, all meals and retreat materials. Financial assistance may be available to those in need.
