The Discovering Your Gifts Workshop was a tremendous gift to our parish leadership. We not only learned more about ourselves and our relationship with God; we learned how to offer our gifts in a way which helps build up the Body of Christ in our parish and in our community. Mary and Judy are wonderful presenters who shared solid Church teaching and brought out the best in our parish community. -Fr. Pete Iorio, Pastor St. Mary Parish Johnson City, TN
