Good Shepherd Parish

There is a place for teens and students in our parish. You are welcome here!

Our youth and student programs are just getting started. We have alot planned to engage with teenagers and young people.

If you haven't said "hey" to our new Youth Minister, Chris Laforet, be sure to send him a quick email or sign up to get more involved.

Chris began his Youth Ministry journey when he was a parishioner at St. Gregory the Great Parish in Tecumseh. He was just a teenager then, and it was during that time, after experiencing a COR Retreat weekend, that his relationship with Christ really started to flourish. 

​By the end of high school, Chris was determined to continue his faith journey so off he went to the University of Windsor where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, a Canadian Certificate in Youth Ministry Studies, and a Certificate in Pastoral Ministry. He later went on to earn his Bachelor of Education degree as well as a Masters of Religious Studies. During his time at the University of Windsor, Chris was also involved in the Windsor Campus Ministry Team.

​Chris initially began at Sacred Heart Parish in Lasalle as the Coordinator of Youth Ministry in 2006. In 2018, Chris joined Good Shepherd Parish and is excited to partner with us as we build disciples who are building disciples.
