Goodbye Note from Laura Tringali: It has been my pleasure to share in the faith lives of the parishioners and especially the teens of Good Shepherd Parish over the last two and a half years. I will be taking the next step in my own journey next month. As my husband and I joyfully prepare for the arrival of our first baby, we have decided to move to Ohio to be closer to family. My last day as your Youth Minister & Director of Confirmation will be Monday, January 27. I am deeply grateful to so many of you in this community with whom I have had the pleasure of building relationships here. Thank you for welcoming me, supporting Youth Ministry, and being open to growing in faith together. Thank you, especially, to the teens of this parish and the dedicated volunteers in Youth Ministry who have allowed me to be part of their faith journey. I have learned so much from you, and you will forever be part of my faith story. Please keep in touch! Email: [email protected] Blog: www.lauratringali.wordpress.com Instagram: @laura_tringali
