Spanning the Globe to Give You the Constant Variety of Discernment
As C. S. Lewis observed (reflecting his academic life), autumn is a wonderful time to begin new things - or to discern new things
So if you're interested in beginning to discern the ways that God has called & gifted you for the sake of others, consider attending a Called & Gifted workshop at a parish near you. We're working hard to give you lots of options.
Last weekend, our Australian team did a C & G at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Gowrie, near Canberra.
This coming weekend (September 14/15)
I'm at Our Lady of Fatima in Lakewood, CO (Denver) with our Front Range team
Fr. Mike is flying off today to Perrysburg (Toledo)Ohio where Sherry Curp (the other Sherry of this blog) will join him.
There will also be a C & G at at St. Joseph's Catholic church in Libertyville, IL this weekend.
On the weekend of September 21/22, Called & Gifted workshops will be held in
Greenville, SC at the famous St. Mary's Church;
in Santa Clarita (Los Angeles)California at Bl. Kateri Tekakwitha Church where I will be teaching with Keith Strohm, one of our ID bloggers,
and at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Manchester, Iowa.
And closing out the month (September 28/29)
there will be a Called & Gifted in Ham Lake, MN (St. Paul's) where you can meet and greet Fr. Mike
while I will be speaking at the Colorado Springs Diocesan Ministry Congress.
We hope to see you there - and please come up and introduce yourself. We'd love to meet you.

Hi Sherry,
My comments on this blog never seem to show, but I will try again . . . Nice to see last weekend's Canberra workshop mantioned. The Canberra team are doing well as this was the first weekend taught by the local team, although I was there as 'anchor'. Next year we will be able to cut the apron stings and they will launch out on their own. Fr John Armstrong has been enthusiastic from the start and they have strong support from their new Archbishop Mark Coleridge whom you met when you came to Oz and was instrumental in setting up the Institute in Australia.
We have a 'first' coming up on the weekend of 21&22 September with a Called and Gifted Workshop in Perth in Western Australia - this will be the first venture away from the East Coast. We are very excited. Perth is a growing city in a state which is experiencing a huge resources boom. it is economically wealthy, but often isolated from the rest of Australia - there is strong interest in Called and Gifted, so we eagerly anticipate our new adventure.
Hi Clara:
Your comment did show and now you must tell us - where and when is that workshop in Perth on September 21/22? Hmmmmm????
Inquiring minds want to know.
Be sure and let us know as such events are scheduled so we can put them on our website calendar and let blog readers from AU (and we have them!) know.
Hi Sherry:
I live 15 mins from Bl. Kateri in Santa Clarita. Can you tell me where I can find out more about the Called & Gifted program?
Thanks!

Hi Patrick:
For general info, go to our website (www.siena.org) and our FAQ's.
For more info about the upcoming workshop in Santa Clarita, go here (http://www.siena.org/CalendarDetail.asp?id=558).
Call the parish to let them know you are coming and be sure and come up and talk to either Keith Strohm or I if you do go.
Thanks much. My daughter's fifth birthday party is Sat. Sept 22, starting at 3PM. A lot of prep work on Sat before that. Could I go Fri only?
