The Holy Spirit gives many service charisms to Christ’s disciples to serve the Church. The abilities are simple but essential to successful parish life. The main charisms are: help, hospitality, giving, administration, service and mercy.

Help is a supportive charism, joyful and productive, to enable brethren to serve God effectively. Hospitality is a warm welcome to our neighbors with an open house, to communicate Jesus’ love, which brings refreshment, comfort and rest. Giving is sharing cheerfully goods to people. Administration is planning and organization to assist others to complete tasks and projects. Service carries our neighbors tasks without reward.  Mercy is compassion in emotion and action to the needy.
