We expect all parishioners to share their abilities in the way that is best suited to them. Besides opportunities to serve within the parish, we can link you with needs in the wider community. We try to match ministry and all service activities with personal skills and preferences. One of the best ways to learn about your strengths is via the Clifton Strengths Assessment, and we offer sessions on Living Your Strengths. Another way to get more involved in the parish and use your talents by serving some way is by filling out our Gifts and Talents Inventory.
