Administration

What does this gift mean?

Administration is a charism for organizing people and practical details in service of a larger purpose. It is more than liking a neat binder. People who recognize this gift often see how the pieces of a project fit, and they can meet Christ in the patient work of turning a vision into a plan. The Diocese of Cleveland inventory describes this gift as a passion for organizing so the Church's mission can move forward.

What might it look like in everyday life?

• Map out a group project so every person knows the next step.
• Build a schedule, sign-up, or supply list that keeps an event calm.
• Notice a missing detail and follow it through before it becomes a problem.

How can I use this gift to serve others?

Offer to organize one upcoming youth activity from the first plan to the last thank-you.
