    Charisms for Catholics

    How effective would a company be where only about 5% of people knew their job description? Not very. And yet this is what we see in the Church right now - many people know they are a part of the Body of Christ but very few have a clear sense of what role they play - if they even realize they play a role at all. Charisms for Catholics helps you identify, value, and invest in where the Holy Spirit is moving in your life and to partner with Him to build the Church by embracing your specific role in the Body of Christ. Produced by Many Parts Ministries.
