To effectively implement the Called & Gifted process in a parish, region or diocese, takes a team. In our experience, at team of at least four persons who have completed Team Training make for a fruitful implementation.

Team Training is a 16-hour training, offered both virtually and in a hybrid form over two weekends that equips each person trained to conduct face to face gifts interviews and lead the small groups for both Part One: Introductory Workshop and Part Three: Discernment in Depth. Small group leaders for Part One will be equipped to use the streaming video platform provided under a subscription agreement.  

Cost

The registration fee typically ranges from $250.00 (no lodging or meals included) to $700.00 (lodging and meals included). The actual registration fee depends upon location!

This training does not qualify one to teach the introductory workshop but to lead the process using the audio or video versions to supply the actual teaching. Live teachers work directly for the Institute and require extensive training above and beyond Team Training. For more information, contact Katherine Coolidge.
