As you read about the ministries of Sacred Heart, Austin, we ask that you prayerfully consider how you might use your gifts to be an instrument of God's grace.
Why should you get involved?
Our talents are the special blessings that each of us has received from a loving Creator who prizes the diversity and abundant variety of all creation. When we volunteer to work for our parish or diocese or to help a neighbor with a difficult chore, what we have to give is much more than our time. We also give something of ourselves, those characteristics that make each of us distinctive as human beings. We call these our "talents," those things we're good at or that we especially enjoy doing. When we volunteer to help others by sharing our talents with them, we give them something far more precious than our time or money. We give them something of ourselves, an intimate sharing of "who we are" for the good of others.
“Love cannot remain by itself -- it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service.” ~ Mother Teresa
